OPTIONS
-h,--help
Prints a list of options.
-V,--version
Prints the current version.
-l,--list
Prints a list of possible input ports.
-p,--port=client:port,...
Sets the sequencer port(s) from which events are recorded.
A client can be specified by its number, its name, or a prefix of its name.
A port is specified by its number; for port 0 of a client, the ":0" part of
the port specification can be omitted.
-b,--bpm=beats
Sets the musical tempo of the MIDI file, in beats per minute. The default
value is 120 BPM.
-f,--fps=frames
Sets the SMPTE resolution, in frames per second. Possible values are 24,
25, 29.97 (for 30 drop-frame), and 30.
-t,--ticks=ticks
Sets the resolution of timestamps (ticks) in the MIDI file, in ticks per
beat (when using musical tempo) or ticks per frame (when using SMPTE tim-
ing). The default value is 384 ticks/beat or 40 ticks/frame, respectively.
-s,--split-channels
Specifies that the data for each MIDI channel should be written to a sepa-
rate track in the MIDI file.
-m,--metronome=client:port
Plays a metronome signal on the specified sequencer port.
Metronome sounds are played on channel 10, MIDI notes 33 & 34 (GM2/GS/XG
metronome standard notes), with velocity 100 and duration 1.
-i,--timesig=numerator:denominator
Sets the time signature for the MIDI file and metronome.
The time signature is specified as usual with two numbers, representing the
numerator and denominator of the time signature as it would be notated. The
denominator must be a power of two. Both numbers should be separated by a
colon. The time signature is 4:4 by default.
