Reading MIDI Text Events?

Hello! I figured out how to add text events via CC lanes (surely there should be Text Event options in the event view?), but I have some questions as to their usefulness within JS. I’ve done some experimenting with text events, and inspected the MIDI logs produced in each case. From what I can see, it appears that:only single-character text messages are sent as MIDI events, whereas longer ones are simply ignored the sole identifying feature (data-ly speaking) is the type of text message, currently ranging from 1 to 7. Firstly, is there a reason longer messages aren’t being forwarded? Secondly, is there any way to determine what the text content actually is in each case, or does that require additional functionality? Thanks. :)

In the event list view, you can right click and choose "insert new text event." Once you have text events in the MIDI item, you can edit them directly in the list view by double clicking the text. JS doesn't support reading any meta-events ... you can see the first 3 bytes of the message as if it were a regular MIDI event, but that's all. As of 3.03 or so you can send variable-length sysex events from JS, but not text events.

Is it still the case ? Can JSFX read MIdi Text Events, or REAPER Notation events ?

Yes of course JSFX can; This thread

Ok thanks, DarkStar just shew me a working code snippet about that :P

Haha yes, I remember this conversation. What a blast from the past! :)
