While it is nice not to have to worry about the length, if you're writing code to write that file, it would be nice to see that it has been written correctly as expected.

The data column is effectively a view of the data and not the actual data. When I see a column labeled "data", I expect to see without any filtering or processing exactly what all that data is.

Because of the variable width length fields, there's a twist to it. The msb can't be used to sync up to a command boundary when any length greater than 127 is in the stream, and since other midi messages can be present with these msb's set when lengths go more than 127 bytes.

Is there a tool to show, essentially as it is in MidiKit, all the data including the length bytes under the "data" column?
