Hi,

Here is a weird one.

Platform: linux Mandriva 2010, Qt 4.7, Python 2.7, all 64 bits.
Midi setup: backend is fluidsynth, startted through QSynth.

Playing a midi file from the frescobaldi player shows an unstable tempo. Note lengths are a bit erratic, while global measure length seems ok (hard to tell precisely, it's more a feeling than true measurement).

Now for the weird part: if I attach another midi player to the same midi port at the same time, *not playing anything*, then the tempo from frescobaldi is correct.. I discovered this by chance when tring to figure out if it was my midi setup at fault of frescobaldi 1.9.2, so I started frescobaldi 1.1.6 (installed from the system) and all of a sudden 1.9.2 worked fine...

I'll recheck later on windows.

Regards,
Richard.
