Thanks for addressing this issue.

I see the text ("Third") column being displayed OK, but the data column shows, in the case of the third meta-event in my original test file, the second byte of the length (0x34) as part of the text data.

I would prefer to see the data, including the length byte or bytes, exactly as it is in the meta-event rather than having it hidden in the data column.

Right now the first length byte (it appears) is hidden, the second and following length bytes are showing. My original test data file doesn't have a meta-event that would have a 3 byte length, but I've generated one.

The file at the following drop box link has 4 meta-events: 127, 128, 16383, and 16384 bytes long. The first displays OK, the other three show 1, 1, and 2 bytes of the length bytes in the data window respectively.

I generated a test file with a 3 byte length  (file size ~536Mbytes long) but MidiKit Beta wouldn't open it. It had two really big meta events with a 3 byte length (0x0fffffff and 0x0fffffff+1 bytes).
