[edit] Is it possible to sync schism to a midi clock or sync something else to schism?

Now: no. In the near future, Schism Tracker could respond to midi start/stop events, and could be configured to generate clock events. Getting Schism Tracker to sync to a remote clock (however) would be very tricky as tracked modules generally provide their own speed/tempo settings, and many of the effects depend on the song-speed setting (or rather, some number of ticks modulo the song-speed). I don't have any hardware that generates these events so this has sort-of stalled.

[edit] How can I adjust tempo of the song in real time?

You have to use the Ctrl-[ ] keys, the tempo setting in F12 screen does not reflect changes in real time.

[edit] Can I use Schism Tracker in the Linux console?

Sure! If you set up a console framebuffer, it should run just fine. Try adding vga=768 to your boot line for 640x400 (80x25 text) -- that way, there's no letterboxing.

[edit] Can I load my "Font.cfg" file from my Impulse Tracker folder?

Not really, no. There is a config option to change the font file, but it's limited to within Schism Tracker's settings directory. It might be possible to trick it, e.g. font=../../../../../../../../dos/it214/font.cfg, but whether this sort of hackery will actually work, and continue to work, is a crapshoot.

[edit] What sample/instrument formats does Schism Tracker recognize?
