[ubuntu-studio-devel] Old GS MIDI Files

[Grant Frank Burton]

Greetings All

Sorry to waste your time.....
this was a really stupid question....

All I have to do is in Ardour, use the scissors and cut off the first few
seconds of the track and delete it

GM midi file import fine I only have to do it on GS format
