If you were to name it MIDI, I would suggest putting it in all caps as that's how it's usually stylized, and most of our acronym package names are in all caps. For name discussion, I suggest you just open a pull request to publish your package and ask for feedback on the name, etc... I find your name very unambiguous, but then again I've done a lot of digital music stuff. :) -E
