## Interface MetaEventListener

- All Superinterfaces:
    EventListener

      public interface MetaEventListener
      extends EventListener

  The `MetaEventListener` interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when a ``Sequencer`` has processed a ``MetaMessage``. To register a `MetaEventListener` object to receive such notifications, pass it as the argument to the ``addMetaEventListener`` method of `Sequencer`.
