DESCRIPTION
     This program is a multiplatform MIDI file player for Linux, Windows and ma-
     cOS.   It	reads  .MID  (Standard	MIDI  Files), .KAR (Karaoke), .RMI (RIFF
     RMID), and .WRK (Cakewalk) file formats, and outputs MIDI events  to  hard-
     ware MIDI ports and also software synths.

   Options
     -h, -help
	    Prints brief usage information.

     -v, -version
	    Prints the current version number.

     -p, -portable
	    Portable settings mode.

     -f, -file portableFile
	    Portable settings file name.

     -d, -driver driver
	    Drumstick::RT MIDI Out Driver.

     -c, -connection connection
	    Drumstick::RT MIDI Out Connection.

   Standard Options
     The following options apply to all Qt5 applications:

     -style= style / -style style
	    Set the application GUI style.  Possible values depend on the system
	    configuration.   If Qt is compiled with additional styles or has ad-
	    ditional styles as plugins these will be  available  to  the  -style
	    command line option.

     -stylesheet= stylesheet / -stylesheet stylesheet
	    Set  the application styleSheet.  The value must be a path to a file
	    that contains the Style Sheet.

     -widgetcount
	    Print debug message at the end about number of  widgets  left  unde-
	    stroyed and maximum number of widgets existed at the same time.

     -reverse
	    Set the application's layout direction to Qt::RightToLeft.	This op-
	    tion  is intended to aid debugging and should not be used in produc-
	    tion.  The default value is automatically detected from  the  user's
	    locale (see also QLocale::textDirection()).

     -platform platformName[:options]
	    Specify the Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) plugin.

     -platformpluginpath path
	    Specify the path to platform plugins.

     -platformtheme platformTheme
	    Specify the platform theme.

     -plugin plugin
	    Specify  additional plugins to load.  The argument may appear multi-
	    ple times.

     -qwindowgeometry geometry
	    Specify the window geometry for the main window using  the	X11-syn-
	    tax.  For example: -qwindowgeometry 100x100+50+50

     -qwindowicon icon
	    Set the default window icon.

     -qwindowtitle title
	    Set the title of the first window.

     -session session
	    Restore the application from an earlier session.

     -display hostname:screen_number
	    Switch displays on X11.  Overrides the DISPLAY environment variable.

     -geometry geometry
	    Specify  the  window geometry for the main window on X11.  For exam-
	    ple: -geometry 100x100+50+50

     -dialogs= [xp|none]
	    Only available for the Windows platform.  XP uses native  style  di-
	    alogs and none disables them.

     -fontengine= freetype
	    Use the FreeType font engine.

   Arguments
     midi_files
	    Input  MID/KAR/RMI/WRK file name(s).  The set of provided file names
	    becomes a temporary playlist.

FILES
     *.lst  Playlist files.  The last opened or saved playlist file shall be re-
	    membered the next time the program is started, but playlists are not
	    saved automatically.

	    Playlists are simple text files, with a file name on each text line.
	    The file names can be relative to the location of the playlist  file
	    itself (so they do not have an absolute path prepended) or each file
	    can have an absolute path on its own.

	    Users  may have several playlists that can be created easily outside
	    of the program, for instance in the Linux command line this  command
	    creates  a	playlist  file named "my_playlist.lst" with all the MIDI
	    files located at the working directory:

	    $ ls -1 *.mid > my_playlist.lst

ENVIRONMENT
     DRUMSTICKRT
	    Location of Drumstick::RT plugins.	Useful if the  plugins	are  not
	    installed at a standard place.
