+Symbolic names for MIDI ports
+</H1>
+MIDI ports shall have a user-defined symbolic name (like "Korg" or "Yamaha DX 7").
+The mapping between these symbolic names and the hardware port (like
+"ALSA midi out port") is stored in the global configuration.
+
+<P>
+Song files only specify the symbolic names as the ports associated with
+their tracks. No information about physical devices/port names, but only
+symbolic names are stored in the song file.
+
+<P>
+This resolves the issues mentioned in <A HREF="node4.html#portconfig_sucks">1.2</A>, and also
+allows the user to share his pieces with other people: They would only
+have to set up that symbolic-to-hardware mapping once (collisions are
+unlikely, because an equal symbolic name should usually mean the same
+device) and are happy, instead of having to re-map <SPAN  CLASS="textit">every</SPAN> port
+for <SPAN  CLASS="textit">every</SPAN> song.
