Thanks again, Jim. I’ve been following this.

The changes seem incremental to me, but two features really stand out: 256 channels, and tighter timing. Reverse compatibility is supported, which is great.

I’m still puzzled MIDI 2.0 will not include chord symbols. That seems a real missed opportunity.
