Yes, and BTW, there are three formats, not just two. I may have the first two backwards. Format 0 saves everything in a single track file, while Format 2 saves tracks as individual tracks. (Again, I may have these backwards) When the Standard MIDI File specification was first developed there were still sequencers, mostly hardware ones, that were single track sequencers, so they needed the different specifications. Standard MIDI File type 2 was developed for the sequencers, like the ones in workstations, that allow the composer to build patterns then order them using a "song" track to set the order of the different sequences. It is not used much outside of that environment these days.

The NinterMiDI I use seems to use the former but if I am not mistaken, QWS can only work with the latter.
