[abcusers] somebody on this list has a virus
I just got a virus bounce message from Freeserve; their virus checker was under the impression that [EMAIL PROTECTED] had sent one of their users an infected message. This list was not itself involved: they quoted some of the headers back to me and they show that the virus used my address as the putative sender. That address is only used for this list, and it's unlikely that messages containing it will have propagated far beyond it. So, there must be a list reader using Windows and Outlook Express with a virus. Among the readers of this list that is *not* a common setup, most of us know better - so if that's what you've got, check what your system is doing. - Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack * food intolerance data recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM Embro, Embro. -- off-list mail to j-c rather than abc at this site, please -- To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Re: [abcusers] somebody on this list has a virus
One comment about virus protection. About a week ago I accidentally activated Norton Antivirus on my computer. Too me a few days before I realised why my computer was running so slow and deactivated it again. During that period, Norton didn't catch a single one of the many viruses I got. Now, this *may* be because Norton for Mac isn't set up to catch Windows viruses, but I've heard others comment on similar things. Norton seems to be by far the most popular anti-virus program for Windows, and it seems it's not really up to the task. :-( So, all Windows users: don't trust the virus protection that came with your computer or with your internet subscription. Go out and get something more effective (and possibly something that doesn't slow your computer down to a crawl as well. ;-) Frank Nordberg http://www.musicaviva.com http://www.tablatvre.com http://www.mandolin-player.com http://www.blues-harmonica.com http://www.irish-banjo.com http://www.blues-banjo.com Jon Freeman wrote: From: Jack Campin [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just got a virus bounce message from Freeserve; their virus checker was under the impression that [EMAIL PROTECTED] had sent one of their users an infected message.

Re: [abcusers] somebody on this list has a virus
I too have had messages bounced back to me that I didn't send. I am using Eudora - don't think it is susceptible.

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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 into something that Finale or Cakewalk might be able to read and create an editable file? Maybe there's some convoluted way to convert MusicTime into ABC and then back into something else?

The only MT - conversion route I've found is save the file from MT as MIDI and put it through Midi2abc - but actually, I find the output from Midi2abc so much in need of editing that just retyping the tune in abc is usually far quicker :-) -- Steve Mansfield Contact me off-list using lists AT lesession DOT co DOT uk http://www.lesession.co.uk - abc music notation tutorial, the uk.music.folk newsgroup FAQ, and other goodies http://www.trebuchetmusic.co.uk - Trebuchet To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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 it? How widely used is Musictime? What OS does it use?

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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 stuff for her chorus that she wants to port to something newer. I will check out your HARMONY program! thanks, Don At 11:41 AM 3/30/2004, you wrote: Have you tried importing the MIDI to my program HARMONY? This can also write abc.

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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 program?

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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
Re: [abcusers] Exporting to Midi.
Phil Taylor wrote: there is a bug in Quicktime 6 which causes long notes to be truncated (played staccato) when generating a midi file. If you can use Quicktime movie files instead of midi it's not a problem. Likewise if you can use a pre- OS X operating system you can use Quicktime 4 (last good one). The problem happens when the delta time for note lengths requires more than two bytes to express it, so another possible work around is to generate the midi file at a fast tempo to keep all delta times within two bytes, then use a midi editor to change the tempo. Yuck. And the duration required isn't all that long either. Is there a tool for bulk conversion of QT movie files to MIDIs? That would be easier if it existed. Just what has been going wrong with the QuickTime development process that they've shipped such buggy products for so long? - Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack * food intolerance data recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM Embro, Embro. -- off-list mail to j-c rather than abc at this site, please -- To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
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 notes, You can also copy paste using the toolbar The download is the full version, you just get an unlcok key for the program when you register Regards Neil At 10:32 PM 3/30/04, you wrote: Ok, I installed your Harmony program.
