[CM] tempo change in midi files

[Rick Taube]

Well of course you can apply accel and deaccl to wait values that then 
affect the timing of the events in the file but i guess this is 
probably not what you want in ths case. Maybe the thing to do would be 
to have the process output explilcit tempo changes in addition to midi 
events, ie
(process ...
   when (change-tempo? ...)
     output (new midimsg :time (now) msg (make-tempo-change ...) 
:channel 0 ...)
   output (new midi :time (now) ... channel 1 ...)
   wait beat)

another soulutino would be to define a seq that holds just your tempo 
changes and then mix that into the file along with the output from your 
musical processes:

(new seq :name 'tpo :subobjects (make-tempo-map ...))

(events (list #&tpo (my-piece)) "foo.midi")
