Tempo and time signatures from MIDI -
i'm building software displaying music notes midi file. can every letter of tones noteon , noteoff events don`t know how or how calculate types of notes (whole, half, eigth..) , other time signatures. how can it? looked example without success.
midi doesn't represent notes in absolute quantities, in classical music. instead, length of note continues until corresponding note off event parsed (also it's quite common midi files use note on event 0 velocity note off, keep in mind). need translate time in ticks between 2 events musical time know whether use whole, half, quarter note, etc.
this translation depends on knowing tempo , time signature, midi meta events. more information parsing can found here:

basically take ppq find number of milliseconds per tick, use time signature , tempo find length of quarter note in milliseconds. there answers on stackoverflow conversion, i'm writing post on phone , can't bothered them right now. :-)
hope points in right direction!
