+/** This data structure is used to contain the MIDI events for one run()
+ cycle. The port buffer for an LV2 port of the type
+ <http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2/ext/MidiPort> should be a pointer
+ to an instance of this struct.
+
+ To store two Note On events on MIDI channel 0 in a buffer, with timestamps
+ 12 and 35.5, you could use something like this code (assuming that
+ midi_data is a variable of type LV2_MIDI):
+ @code
+
+ uint32_t buffer_offset = 0;
+ *(double*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset) = 12;
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(double);
+ *(uint32_t*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset) = 3;
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(uint32_t);
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x90;
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x48;
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x64;
+ ++midi_data->event_count;
+
+ *(double*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset) = 35.5;
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(double);
+ *(uint32_t*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset) = 3;
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(uint32_t);
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x90;
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x55;
+ midi_data->data[buffer_offset++] = 0x64;
+ ++midi_data->event_count;
+
+ midi_data->size = buffer_offset;
+
+ @endcode
+
+ This would be done by the host in the case of an input port, and by the
+ plugin in the case of an output port. Whoever is writing events to the
+ buffer must also take care not to exceed the capacity of the data buffer.
+
+ To read events from a buffer, you could do something like this:
+ @code
+
+ uint32_t buffer_offset = 0;
+ uint32_t i;
+ for (i = 0; i < midi_data->event_count; ++i) {
+ double timestamp = *(double*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset);
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(double);
+ uint32_t size = *(uint32_t*)(midi_data->data + buffer_offset);
+ buffer_offset += sizeof(uint32_t);
+ do_something_with_event(timestamp, size,
+ midi_data->data + buffer_offset);
+ buffer_offset += size;
+ }
+
+ @endcode
+
+ If you think this looks like too much code to simply read and write MIDI
+ events, take a look at the helper functions in lv2-midifunctions.h. They
+ are not an official part of this extension, but they can be convenient.

+ uint32_t size;
+
+ /** The data buffer that is used to store MIDI events. The events are packed
+ after each other, and the format of each event is as follows:
+
+ First there is a timestamp, which should have the type "double",
+ i.e. have the same bit size as a double and the same bit layout as a
+ double (whatever that is on the current platform). This timestamp gives
+ the offset from the beginning of the current cycle, in frames, that
+ the MIDI event occurs on. It must be strictly smaller than the 'nframes'
+ parameter to the current run() call. The MIDI events in the buffer must
+ be ordered by their timestamp, e.g. an event with a timestamp of 123.23
+ must be stored after an event with a timestamp of 65.0.
+
+ The second part of the event is a size field, which should have the type
+ "uint32_t" (as defined in the standard C header stddef.h). It should
+ contain the size of the MIDI data for this event, i.e. the number of
+ bytes used to store the actual MIDI event. The bytes used by the
+ timestamp and the size field should not be counted.
+
+ The third part of the event is the actual MIDI data. There are some
+ requirements that must be followed:
+
+ * Running status is not allowed. Every event must have its own status
+ byte.
+ * Note On events with velocity 0 are not allowed. These events are
+ equivalent to Note Off in standard MIDI streams, but in order to make
+ plugins and hosts easier to write, as well as more efficient, only
+ proper Note Off events are allowed as Note Off.
+ * "Realtime events" (status bytes 0xF8 to 0xFF) are allowed, but may not
+ occur inside other events like they are allowed to in hardware MIDI
+ streams.
+ * All events must be fully contained in a single data buffer, i.e. events
+ may not "wrap around" by storing the first few bytes in one buffer and
+ then wait for the next run() call to store the rest of the event. If
+ there isn't enough space in the current data buffer to store an event,
+ the event will either have to wait until next run() call, be ignored,
+ or compensated for in some more clever way.
+ * All events must be valid MIDI events. This means for example that
+ only the first byte in each event (the status byte) may have the eighth
+ bit set, that Note On and Note Off events are always 3 bytes long etc.
+ The MIDI writer (host or plugin) is responsible for writing valid MIDI
+ events to the buffer, and the MIDI reader (plugin or host) can assume
+ that all events are valid.
+
+ On a platform where double is 8 bytes the data buffer layout for a
+ 3-byte event followed by a 4-byte event may look something like this:
+ _______________________________________________________________
+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...
+ |TIMESTAMP 1 |SIZE 1 |DATA |TIMESTAMP 2 |SIZE 2 |DATA | ...
