Subject: [PATCH] fix illegal MIDI event message during import

This happens when reimporting a MIDI file taken from Ardour, which
has sequencer specific data (namely, note-IDs). In that case
SMF::read_event() returns zero to indicate a meta event that we
should or could be interested in. For import, we are not interested,
hence the ignored_note_id variable
