For some reason it produces a exact copy of the input file:

$ lua -v
Lua 5.2.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
$ lua ~/panning.lua 2b_choer.midi zz.midi
2b_choer.midi   zz.midi
$ lsl 2b_choer.midi zz.midi 
-rw-r--r-- 1 karl users 2995 2013-09-05 21:39 2b_choer.midi
-rw-r--r-- 1 karl users 2995 2013-09-06 08:58 zz.midi
$ md5sum 2b_choer.midi zz.midi 
203528cd285a0e7438886c9c893d6490  2b_choer.midi
