[Coco] Bug in Umuse3-9.111 maybe earlier

[Bill Pierce]

Umuse's timing is probably a little different. And Rosegarden would be generating it's own clock, not expecting one unless there's an option to recieve clocks externally. But that wouldn't come from a file... only a midi stream. It has no idea when the ticks were generated. By the midi spec, it should just ignore them, but you know how programmers and specs get along.

OW, I created that problem by having UMusE3 include the midi clock in the 
xport to a .mid?  And it really is a Rosegarden bug then because it can't 
andle the extra data's processing or interprets it incorrectly?
Interesting because other than playing the file at about 1/100th normal 
peed, it has no other objections.
I'll not enable that next time I export as .mid from UMusE3.
Thanks Aaron.
