[seq24-users] Simple request; how do I split a midi file in 2 pieces?

[Walter D. <wal...@wa...>]

  I'm a total newbie at midi, so please bear with me.  I've been running
linux for a few years, and am now on Gentoo.  Seq24 is installed via
portage, and appears to be working.  Even though timidity plays midi
files just fine, seq24 doesn't seem to output to the speakers, but I can
live with that.

  I have a midi file (9 instruments) that's approx 2 minutes long.  I
want to use the last few seconds as a ringtone.  The documentation talks
about editing sequences and adding notes, but it seems to assume that I
know a lot about midi-editting, which is absolutely wrong.  For now, I
just want to chop a file into 2 and save the second piece as a midi
file.  Are there any detailed instructions elsewhere?  Thanks.
