Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there, Neil? Ok, so one part of my problem is easily solvable by various means (import a MIDI file to extract a workable source score), so my next question for all of you is does anyone know of a program that will record a MIDI stream that is being played through

No sarcasm at all, a genuine request for positive feedback. I don't know of such a program, but might be able to write one. The only difficult point is finding out how to assign the data stream. Once that is done, I can easily capture the MIDI events to a file. At 06:29 PM 3/31/04, you wrote:

Thank you! I hadn't even thought of that ... and yet it seems such an obvious thing to do. We do have a Yamahi keyboard that should be able to do that. I will give that a try. Thanks again, Don At 09:50 AM 3/31/2004, you wrote: On Wed, 31 Mar 2004, Don Parrish-Bell wrote: so my next

Don, You've got me a bit puzzled here. I've been using MusicTime for years and had no problem exporting MIDI (.mid) files from it., or importing a MIDI file to turn into a score. What's the actual problem you're having - just in case I'm able to help at all. Kevin. Don Parrish-Bell wrote:

We have a very early version of MusicTime that is getting quirkier and quirkier as Windows mutates. It sort of works with Windows XP, but one more downgrade from Microsoft and it may be curtains for it. So, my question is does anyone on the list know of any software to convert MusicTime files

Have you tried importing the MIDI to my program HARMONY? This can also write abc. (But is only available for Windows) (download from www.greenhedges.com) If I had the MT format to hand, or some sample files, I could probably write a direct import to HARMONY - would there be a large market for

At the moment, I think just getting MusicTime (I think we have 1.0!) to export a MIDI file (it will play back MIDI ok, though) is the issue. I will see about getting a few files from home to send you. I have no idea how popular this thing was, but my wife has written (or arranged) a bunch of

Ok, I installed your Harmony program. I only had a few minutes to play with it, but I was able to convert a couple of midi songs to scores. I couldn't figure out how to edit or add notes in this brief session, though. Do you have documentation that is downloadable when you register this

You could download the current demo from http://www.gvox.com/ (about 6Mb). I didn't look at thethe demo, but if it's fully featured, you may be able to export your files to some stable format. Mick

There is a manual included in the download, a little out of date on the newer options but still valid for most. There is also a comprehensive help file in the program - see the help menu To edit notes, click on one with the RIGHT mouse button - you will get an edit menu which includes adding
