FA-81457 / MIDI event timing / Member archive
Absolute events to delta-time serialisation: deltas written as absolute ticks · case 02
Every event after the first carries its absolute tick as a delta, so playback drifts later and later.
Case contract
Input a list of [tick, kind, note] with kind on or off in any order. Emit events sorted by tick; at equal ticks note-offs precede note-ons, and otherwise input order is kept. Each output is [delta from the previous emitted event (the first from tick 0), kind, note]. A negative tick returns None.
Why this case matters
MIDI sequencers, file readers and synth drivers depend on exact event ordering and tick/time arithmetic.

Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
