Hi, list.
Has anyone made an external to create MIDI files with [text] or [textfile]? Is this even possible? I'm only familiar with MIDI messages. I don't know about other information in a MIDI file like tempo, time signature, and metadata. Could it be created as text or is this impossible?
It sure would be nice to have a vanilla way to create MIDI files. I'm working with [midifile] right now and am having issues. Will track these problems in a separate post.

No.
Midifiles are binary files, [text] (as the name implies) is for text.
You *could* write a midifile reader/writer with the new [file] object though.

for bugs, https://github.com/pd-externals/midifile resp. https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach would be more appropriate
