Hi, the recent midi snippets have got me going on getting control over my midi. The following script runs thru each instrument patch, and prints out all the different tones of each patch. So there are (0..127) patches, and each patch has (0..127) variations. So to tune my ear, I want to just run thru all the possibilities. The following script works, but all the "patch number" text_events come out all at the beginning of play. How do I make each text_event print as the patch actually changes? Thanks. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#usage: script | timidity - 
use MIDI::Simple;
new_score;
$a=1;  #number of loops 
set_tempo 10**7*6/360;

while($a--){
    noop c1;

for(0..127){patch_change 1,$_;text_event $_;
        for $x(0..127){n $x}
        }
}
write_score *STDOUT{IO};
