Look in the CM dictionary under "join".

Join "defines a union of two or more patterns. Elements from the joined
patternsare read in parallel and returned as lists in which the elements are
in the same order as the patterns specified to the join."



Hope this helps.

> 1/4 1/4 1/4 1/8 1/8. (all C notes)
> 
> 2: melody.mid (with the following notes)
> 1/4(Note C) 3/4(Note D)

> 1/4(C) 1/4(D) 1/4(D) 1/8(D) 1/8(D)
> 
> The same in words explained: The file melody.mid defines the note
> pitches at a given time and rhythm.mid defines the note starting times,
> the note durations and the note velocities.
> (Sometimes) Long melody notes are converted (splitted) to many shorter
> notes according to the rhythm.mid.
