That's pretty much what I thought he had undertaken, but I must have 
misunderstood.

I vote for whatever is less complicated, and I want to state that my position 
on the issue is that MIDI is already a lossy format, so additional loss of 
information is perfectly acceptable to me.  The goal should be to get a file 
you can drop into any MIDI player and reproduce the same thing Rosegarden 
would have played.  If it achieves this using weird note durations, so be it.  
If it achieves it some other way, so be it.  The means matter far less than 
the end here.
