The output of midi2abc with the -stats is used by
the midiexplorer application which can by found on
sourceforge.net. The output looks something like this

Here is a description of some of the values which are outputted.
timesig 4/4 beat number
is issued each time the time signature is redefined. The beat number
is a decimal number in quarter beats.
The same apples for keysig (key signature) and tempo redefinition.
For each channel, midi2abc prints a trkinfo vector which contains
the following information.
the channel number
the first program number assigned to the channel
the number of notes not appearing inside a chord
the number of notes appearing in a chord
the sum of all the MIDI pitches of the notes
the sum of all the note durations in pulses
Finally, midi2abc outputs the following data.
npulses -- the length of the longest track in pulses
tempocmds - the number of tempo commands encountered
pitchbends - the number of pitchbend commands encountered
programcmd - the number of times the program assignment is
reassigned
progs vector - list of all the MIDI programs used
progsact vector - the activity for each of the above MIDI programs. The
activity is the sum of the note durations in pulses for each of the
above programs.
progcolor - described below
drums - a list of all the MIDI percussion numbers used
drumhits - the number of note on commands for each of the above percussion
instruments.
pitches - the number of note on commands for each of the 12 pitch
classes (C, C#, D, D# ... B)
pitchact - duration in pulses of all notes grouped by pitch classes
chnact - duration in pulses of all notes grouped by channel
pitchentropy - entropy of the pitchact probability density function
progcolor: The 128 MIDI program numbers are mapped into 17 classes.
These classes group keyboard instruments, brass instruments, guitar
instruments etc into separate groups defined here.

};
The activity in each of these programs is measured, normalized to
a unit length vector and returned in the progcolor vector.
