hum2mid --fill-pickup when first measure begins with rest

[Malcolm Sailor]

Hi Craig et al,

I've noticed that using hum2mid with the --fill-pickup flag seems to have unexpected behavior when the first measure begins with a rest (as sometimes occurs, e.g., Haydn op. 20 no. 6, iv).

For example given these two test files:

pickup.krn

**kern
*M4/4
==
2a
=1
4a
==
*-

rest.krn

**kern
*M4/4
=1
2r
2a
=2
4a
==
*-

I get the following results. Note in particular that when hum2mid processes rest.krn with the --fill-pickup flag, the time shift before the first note is missing.

malcolm tmp$ hum2mid rest.krn --fill-pickup | grep 'note-o' | head -n 3
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
v240    80 '69 '64      ; note-off A4
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
malcolm tmp$ hum2mid rest.krn | grep 'note-o' | head -n 3
v240    90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
v240    80 '69 '64      ; note-off A4
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
malcolm tmp$ hum2mid pickup.krn | grep 'note-o' | head -n 3
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
v240    80 '69 '64      ; note-off A4
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
malcolm tmp$ hum2mid pickup.krn --fill-pickup | grep 'note-o' | head -n 3
v240    90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4
v240    80 '69 '64      ; note-off A4
v0      90 '69 '64      ; note-on A4

Is this expected behavior? (I hope not.) If so, is there a way that I can I always have a time-shift at the beginning of each midi file?
