BASS_ATTRIB_MIDI_PPQN attribute

The Pulses Per Quarter Note (or ticks per beat) value of a MIDI stream. 

BASS_ChannelGetAttribute(
    HSTREAM handle,
    BASS_ATTRIB_MIDI_PPQN,
    float *ppqn
);

Parameters

handleThe MIDI stream handle.
ppqnThe PPQN value.

Remarks

This attribute is the number of ticks per beat as defined by the MIDI file; it will be 0 for MIDI streams created via BASS_MIDI_StreamCreate. It is also read-only, so cannot be modified via BASS_ChannelSetAttribute.

Example

Get the currnet position of a MIDI stream in beats. 
float ppqn;
BASS_ChannelGetAttribute(handle, BASS_ATTRIB_MIDI_PPQN, &ppqn;); // get PPQN value
QWORD tick=BASS_ChannelGetPosition(handle, BASS_POS_MIDI_TICK); // get tick position
DWORD beat=tick/ppqn; // translate it to beats
