[CM] :time slot-values and midi files

[M. Perticone]

hello listers,

this is to check if it's the expected. i've been toying with time
slot-values'.
you can see below that some 'events' have an earlier time than its
predecessor. after writing events to a midi file i see that those earlier
events are placed at their predecessor time. also some durations are changed
into longer ones. am i misunderstanding how to handle the time value-slot
data?
thanks in advance,
marcelo

please compare the following outputs:
