The last time I replied to this thread, a year or more ago, I wrote "I strongly suspect we'll see something before the end of 2021."

Here we are two thirds of the way through 2022 and still nothing more published by the MMA.
The last document I have, "Property Exchange Foundational Resources", is dated November 2020.

Clearly the creation of an SMF2.0 specification is a lot more complex than any of us imagined.

It certainly sets me to wondering ... ???

P.S. I notice too that Craig Anderton no longer seems to be president of the MMA?
When did that change happen?
I don't recall any announcement that he was standing down.

I think I have the 1812 overture into an ancient format from era 1977 or so. I extended that to allow a bunch of new features. Moved the code to python. Had it output abc format. Then midi file format. Then found out how horribly limited 16 channels is. Then found that fluidsynth will allow many more (I put in a patch to allow up to 256).
Now it outputs "fluidsynth" input format. So, now I have the 85 pages playing ... . Also Beethoven's 1st, movement 1. And Beethoven's 6th.
I need to edit/fix/expand the other 3 movements to Beehoven's 1st, then get back to working on Beethoven's 2nd.

Question: When will anything for midi2 file format and fluidsynth (or elsewise) be available?

(Compiling/playing on MacOS ... not really a windows person. Give me command lines...) A git repository for "anything"?

Craig is still involved with the MIDI Association. Although he is no longer President, he actually attends MIDI Association Exec Board meetings and is on the private Exec Board forum.

Athan Billias was elected in January of 2022 as President of the MIDI Association for a two year term that will end in January, 2024.

BTW, there is a post in a separate thread about what is happening with the SMF2 specification.

Thank you for the response regarding Craig.
Actually I took the question directly to him, over in the Music Player Forum, and received an answer from him about the change over of the Presidency.
I simply forgot to answer my own question over here.

The answer was, as I recall, that the MMA presidency changes every two years and so it went to Athan as a matter of course.

Yes, I saw the answer about the upcoming new SMF spec in the other thread, thank you.
