> How about storing MIDI data as a custom property in a substack?


Even if this is done, you still need to copy the binary data contained  
in the custom property to a temporary MIDI file (invisible if  
desired), to which the the player's filename is assigned.  According  
to the 3.0 User Guide, audio/video QT players must always reference a  
discreet file.

MIDI is usually used polyphonically by combining musical tracks into a  
single file or stream.  But, as an experiment, I referenced 3 MIDI  
files and played them as follows:

on mouseUp
    start player "whole"
    start player "half"
    start player "quarter"
end mouseUp

They remained exactly in sync throughout their play duration. So I  
guess that you could,  ***on a reasonably recent computer***, expect  
that you can "mix" MIDI sound sequences.  On older models (ca. < 1  
gHz), who knows?
