[chuck-users] New User (midiscore chucktrip questions)

Hello, Im a retiring soon from IT, used make a living playing keys in a band a long time ago. Now I have time to play again. I am just getting started with chuck and want mostly want to use it as a custom midi sequencer. Probably with fluidsynth but maybe some chuck instruments. I can read and dump a midi file and play it through jack. But Id like to do more. I noticed MidiScoreReader and friends in the source but cant figure out how to exercise it. Things like getBPM and getLowestNote and seek toNoteOn etc seem interesting But I cant find them in the docs. And ..is there a way to format ints as hex when chereing? Also is chucktrip like jacktrip? thanks, d
