Details

The "empty" MidiFile object from mido defaults to a type 1 MIDI file with ticks_per_beat set to 480. From (Mido Project 2023) , section 3.10.4, "File Types":

"There are three types of MIDI files:

type 0 (single track): all messages are saved in one track
type 1 (synchronous): all tracks start at the same time
type 2 (asynchronous): each track is independent of the others."

See section 3.10.8, "Tempo and Beat Resolution", for details about how time is handled in MIDI files.
