NAME

       get_midi_length  -  Determines  the total playing time of a midi, in seconds. Allegro game
       programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int get_midi_length(MIDI *midi);

DESCRIPTION

       This function will simulate playing the given MIDI, from start to end,  to  determine  how
       long  it  takes  to  play. After calling this function, midi_pos will contain the negative
       number of beats, and midi_time the length of the midi, in seconds.

       Note that any currently playing midi is stopped when you call this function.  Usually  you
       would  call  it before play_midi, to get the length of the midi to be played, like in this
       example:

          length = get_midi_length(my_midi);
          play_midi(my_midi);
          do {
             pos = midi_time;
             textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, 0, c, -1, "%d:%02d / %d:%02d\n",
                pos / 60, pos % 60, length / 60, length % 60);
             rest(100);
          } while(pos <= length);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the value of midi_time, the length of the midi.
