It's not me that has decided there is no midi note length, it's the midi 
protocol creators.

 you have Note On for playing the note, and Note Off to stop playing the note, 
how would it be better?

for this reason we often use [stripnote] because [makenote] sends a Note On and 
a Note Off (the same note with velocity zero)

that's also why there is an object like [poly] that can redistribute those On 
and Off notes.

 Just read about midi protocol!

Of course there is. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the [midifile]
object, so I've know idea how to retrieve delta-time values with it. I
just felt compelled to write back and confirm that midi files do of
course contain timing information, how else would sequencers know when
to play the notes?
