Bala, HNotate and ZMidi

Copperbox revision 333.

I've added a Midi output module for the Bala DSL in the Bala.Base libraries. I had been using HNotate's Midi output, but I couldn't see an easy way to rejoin long notes that had been split and tied (tied notes play twice with HNotate's Midi output).

Bala and HNotate seem to have agreed upon a maxim - "keep exactly as much structure as you need". As soon as I've translated a music structure into a different form there is always some data that gets lost, appears essential, and is a real headache to recover.
