I believe the song dump format is part of the midi specs. I wasn't able to find the discussion in the archives. Also, do a dump to e-loader and monitor/capture the conversation.  I know I did it ages ago, and even dissected the song packet header. The packets may have been sequentially numbered.

I am tired, but I will see if I can duplicate the dump capture.

But the machine just passed its 15 year mark, so at some point it's going to kick the dust and I'm going to have to find another solution. So I thought I'd start thinking about it will the old machine is still working, rather than later.
