/**
 * A <code>MetaMessage</code> is a <code>{@link MidiMessage}</code> that is not meaningful to synthesizers, but
 * that can be stored in a MIDI file and interpreted by a sequencer program.
 * (See the discussion in the <code>MidiMessage</code>
 * class description.)  The Standard MIDI Files specification defines
 * various types of meta-events, such as sequence number, lyric, cue point,
 * and set tempo.  There are also meta-events
 * for such information as lyrics, copyrights, tempo indications, time and key
 * signatures, markers, etc.  For more information, see the Standard MIDI Files 1.0
 * specification, which is part of the Complete MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification
 * published by the MIDI Manufacturer's Association
 * (<a href = http://www.midi.org>http://www.midi.org</a>).
 *
 * <p>
 * When data is being transported using MIDI wire protocol,
 * a <code>{@link ShortMessage}</code> with the status value <code>0xFF</code> represents
 * a system reset message.  In MIDI files, this same status value denotes a <code>MetaMessage</code>.
 * The types of meta-message are distinguished from each other by the first byte
 * that follows the status byte <code>0xFF</code>.  The subsequent bytes are data
 * bytes.  As with system exclusive messages, there are an arbitrary number of
 * data bytes, depending on the type of <code>MetaMessage</code>.
