> "Apple's (formerly emagic's) Logic software actually made this visible to the user, using 3840 delta-time units per quarter note and presenting an Event List interface [1] where you could edit integers for offset and length directly. As opposed to other WYSIWIG notation software like Finale and Sibelius..." Actually pretty much every midi tracker program (which Logic is even though it also does notation) use delta-time units, of which 3840 per quarter note is pretty standard practice. Sibelius & Finale are only notation editors. But notation editors might even internally represent the midi event times using 3840 delta-time units even though they deliberately hide that from the end user, for good reason because their user base is musicans who play written sheet music instead of dealing with midi. I don't know that for sure about Sibelius & Finale since their code is closed, but the open source MuseScore editor does use 3840.
