A
MidiFileFormat
object encapsulates a MIDI file's
type, as well as its length and timing information.
A MidiFileFormat
object can
include a set of properties. A property is a pair of key and value:
the key is of type String
, the associated property
value is an arbitrary object.
Properties specify additional informational
meta data (like a author, or copyright).
Properties are optional information, and file reader and file
writer implementations are not required to provide or
recognize properties.
