Help with Script

[LUX2152]

Hi all. I am down to the last part of my script and there are things I don't fully understand in the Reaper API. I have everything working except the insert

boolean reaper.MIDI_InsertTextSysexEvt(MediaItem_Take take, boolean selected, boolean muted, number ppqpos, integer type, string bytestr)

I don't how to tell it the MediaItem Take, and I don't know if the selected and muted even mater or what I should put.
Sorry if this is basic stuff. Your help is greatly appreciated.

MIDI scripts generally have the following code:

local editor=reaper.MIDIEditor_GetActive()
local take=reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake(editor)

If you use item to locate take, you usually need this Code:
take = reaper.GetTake(MediaItem, 0)

Thanks that part works. Apparently I don't know what ppqpos is though or how to get it. I assumed it was the play head location. I can not find documentation on it.
Also, a lot of functions require MediaItem, I know what a media item is in Reaper, but no idea how they are referenced in script.

ppq stands for 'Pulses per quarter' (note):

You can search/filter for available 'ppq'-functions here: https://www.extremraym.com/cloud/reascript-doc/
