Okay: I've found this link http://users.xplornet.com/~bvdp/mma/ and everything is much clearer now.

Hey, I have to admit that it was I who caused some of this naming confusion. But, unfortunately there is a limited number of pronouncable short names available in English ... so, yes these things get to be recycled as you quickly found with your search ... I've thought a number of times that a "better" name would be nice ... but then I look and find most of my ideas already "taken". So, we're sort of stuck with MMA .

And after working on this project for way to long I have no intention of fixing my brain to use a different name And, please, do remember that the program is "Musical Midi  Accompaniment". "MMA" is just a shortening of the full name.

I know, not at all more clear .. but, I got my name in the thread

Bob.
