.SH NAME
\fBmidistats\fP \- program to summarize the statistical properties of a midi file
.SH SYNOPSIS
midistats \fIinfile\fP
This is a long manual because the program extracts many different parameters
from the midi file depending upon the options selected. This manual
attempts to describe these parameters and how they are computed.
These parameters are formatted in a way so they can be read by other
applications such midiexplorer.tcl, runstats.tcl, and numerous Python
scripts.
Many of the options were designed specifically for analyzing the
percussion track of the midi file. They are described in a separate
section below (Other options).
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fImidistats\fP analyzes the contents of a midi file and outputs key
information and various statistical measures. Each line of output
starts with the name of the variable or variable array and the
associated values. The output is interpreted by the user interface
midiexplorer.tcl. Both programs are still being improved. Here
is an explanation of some of the output.
If you run midistats without any options other than the name of
the midi input file, it will produce a table of values described
here. Each line of output starts with the name of the variable or
variable array and the associated values.

ntrks indicates the number of tracks in the midi file.

It is recommended that you only select one of the options
described here as the program was not designed to handle a
multiple number of options.
.PP
If you run midistats with the -CSV option, it will return the
results in a form of comma separated values that can be loaded
into a Python panda dataframe. Each line refers to one of the
16 midi channels.
