(Linux) Running status does not match MIDI spec

[Nytra]

managed-midi/Commons.Music.Midi.Shared/SMF.cs

Line 312 in 98e269a

private static byte runningStatus;

Currently in this library any byte received above or equal to 128 becomes the new running status, however this is not matching the spec according to this page: http://midi.teragonaudio.com/tech/midispec/run.htm

I think it needs to be changed to:

• not change running status if the byte is RealTime Category (0xF8 to 0xFF)
• clear the running status if the byte is System Common (0xF0 to 0xF7)
• ignore data bytes if there is no running status

You're misunderstanding how SMF is specified. SMF does not support realtime messages. SMF rather uses system messages block (except for sysex) for meta events.

Ah I was thinking about messages from devices not SMF (The MidiEvent is useful for both)

[atsushieno]

Ah, sorry I was misunderstanding, SMF.cs was not only for SMF. I agree with your analysis on what needs to be done.

Though I don't write code for this library after Microsoft abandoned .NET IDE on Linux and only accepting PRs (they are welcome).
