I ready somewhere that some applications, like Bitwig, allocate(?) MIDI
ports in "exclusive" mode so that other application cannot connect to the
MIDI ports. I used Bitwig and confirmed that after starting Bitwig in
qjackctrl you cannot connect any of the MIDI write/read ports. ( qjackctrl
MIDI option is set to "none") I could not find any documentation on such
"exclusive" feature though ?

Figured it out. The so called "exclusive" mode is because of the
application opening the port in "raw mode"
So far I only used sequencer mode in my code and this did not bump into
this situation.
