How it works
Microseconds per quarter note = round(60,000,000/BPM). Store that integer in three big-endian bytes after FF 51 03.
120 BPM gives 500,000 microseconds: FF 51 03 07 A1 20.
Limits
Output excludes delta-time and track wrapping. Rounded microseconds can make the represented BPM differ slightly from the input.
