Mats,
  The *.SNG format is also capable of storing more information.  These items
include SYNC info, MUTED tracks (which would be erased in MID) and all front
panel [filter] settings.
  So, for a very basic style song file- *.sng would be smaller, but if you
use additional information...*.mid file format is more limited- and
information would either be imbedded or ignored (not saved).

 Mats,
  *.SNG file have a 5K overhead (minimum size), primarily for Librarian
 info.  We use 5 bytes per note, *.MID files use 6.  After you pass over 5000
 notes, then you'll see a savings in size.

Mats,
  The statement is truer for other Seq+ programs that don't incorporate the
Universal Librarian, as SP Gold does.  In the long run, SNG files would be
smaller on very large files...otherwise not.
  Version 4.11 has been out for almost two years.  There are not significant
problems reported with it...so I would expect you not to have any problems
either.
  At least you used some decent song files to experiment with (esp. In the
Dead of Night, one of my favorites!).
