Schwa: From JSFX you should be able to read the notation data using midirecv_str. REAPER-specific notation data will have the first two bytes 0xFF, 0xF. (This is outside the official MIDI spec but still in-band for MIDI text meta-events.)"

Just a question, Schwa but why do not you use simply

Proprietary Event/Sequencer-Specific Meta-event ?
FF 7F <len> <Your Cockos id> <data>
Thatīs the meta spec for such special events, like for Notation etc. pp

instead of
the maybe with future MIDI-HD spec conflicted "outside the official MIDI spec
or better at the moment not existing 0xFF 0xF <len> <data> and these other non existing 0xA-0xE ...

I personally have no problem with it but it is outside existing meta command ids
and can maybe conflict with future things as long as it not in spec or Cockos make Spec together with the rest or the rest of the world just follow Cockos
Particularly if it is also exported to SMF.
