[Ohrrpgce] Notate and Midi2bam

[Mike Caron]

Wow, I've seen white noise that was clearer than Midi2Bam...

Ok, here's what I'm trying to do:

BAM has the capability to loop too, but currently, there is no way to
do anything but loop the entire song short of using a hex editor,
unless you're composing the song in Notate, which no-one does.
Everyone uses Midi2Bam.

I want to retrofit Midi2Bam to recognize some MIDI events that will
allow it to add loops. One way to do this would be to take a cue from
the RPG Maker series, which uses a MIDI event 111 (6F) to indicate
where the loop begins.

However, I can't make heads or tails of the program. I think I managed
to detect such an event by adding this code:

  IF temp = 111 THEN
     tloop% = mtrk&(i)
     cloop% = i
  END IF

on line 571, but I'm lost as to what I do next. Somehow I need to put
something in song(), but I don't know where or when. Help?
