What’s the difference?
Oh, I might have misunderstood what a function can do.
Makes sense. The little scripting experience I have there’s a difference. Functions are meant to return some value, sub-routines can do more. But if there’s no limitation to what I can put in a function, then there’s no issue. 
Also, there is a MidiSequence object in Gig Performer. You can load a standard MIDI file into it
function MidiSequence_LoadMidiFile (sequence : MidiSequence, fromFile : String) returns integer
and step through it with a trigger using
function MidiSequence_GetCurrentEvents (sequence : MidiSequence, trackNumber : integer) returns MidiMessage array
and just iterate through the returned MIDI messages using SendNow
This lets you create an entire MIDI sequence using your DAW (say) and then manually clocking it

As a general rule, I deeply agree with RTFM.
However, I’m having difficulty understanding the documentation here. Having no education in programming, I only learn by seeing examples.

It’s similar with me… i always need a concrete goal to achieve, while going there, i am learning the most.
I know that it’s often dificult to clearly understand what all those abstract descriptions and general examples (if there are any) actually mean and how they have to be handled in a proper way.
But especially the first chapters of the scripting manual contain lots of information which will explain a lot of situations - personally, i see the rest more as some kind of reference.
