get_midi_length(3)		 Allegro manual 	      get_midi_length(3)

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 func-
     tion.  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.
