Wayne Stahnke has offered his disk file format to everybody, as a 
recommended format for storing edited synchronous music roll data.  It 
is suitable for perforator control, and has these desirable features:

  It handles 240 channels, "wide enough" for the largest organ rolls.
  It handles arbitrary ascii text, for saving important parameters, etc.
  The method of encoding "delta-time" (actually x-axis distance)
  accommodates unlimited values.

Note that the event durations in both the .WEB and .MID files are 
for perforator control.  If you want to hear the true durations when 
you play the file with your synthesizer, you should extend the 
durations according to the height of the holes in the tracker bar.  
For the typical tracker bar of 0.040 to 0.050 inch height, Richard 
Tonnesen assumes a truncation/extension constant of 3.5 steps at 45 
steps per inch.

P.S. Jody, the attached file is rather large -- perhaps you should put
     it in the FTP directory for down-loading.  -- Robbie}

 [ Robbie, I'll put the files in the FTP area in
 [ the /pub/automatic-music/misc  area
