Most MIDI stuff is my work, but I haven't been able to do much
on MIDI/sound since I switched to linux-ppc last August.
Although there are some vague plans to enhance the sound output,
eg slurs ties, dynamics, it has not a high priority. In addition,
I can't seem to find good MIDI documentation on-line, and I'm not
a MIDI guru.
If you really need better MIDI output, you should consider to have
a go at it yourself.
