I started with the docs and then went to the manual. After studying a
few examples I feel like I am getting to grips with it. I just pushed
some code to git that emulates a "monosynth" (a synth incapable of
polyphony). It is not a synth though because it just writes midi data to
the jack port. It sends an all note off followed by note on then off
again. This way only one note can play at a time. This is intended for
scripting and immediate playback only.  It is sufficient for ear
training games that are melodic or rhythmic in nature. 

comments?

I don't know if I responded. I did not have an answer at the time. You
seem to have fixed it because it does not do that for me. There is a bug
somewhere in here I plan on hunting down shortly.
