[abcusers] MIDI cat ?

[Ronan KERYELL]

To publish some music in MIDI format I need a MIDI version of the Unix
cat...

Rationale :
My abc tunes are split in various X: tunes and abc2midi generates a MIDI
file per X: tune. It would be more user friendly to have a single MIDI file for the
whole tune so that I could also publish in MIDI format.

Right now I also generate audio file by concatenating all the audio file
generated by timidity on each MIDI file, which is a pain because there is
a blank at the end of each partial audio file... :-(
Generating all the audio from a single MIDI file should be better...

For typical examples : http://kazimodal.trad.org/partitions/
my generic Makefile :

PARTITION_DIR = $(HOME)/public_html/trad/partitions
TARGET_DIR = $(PARTITION_DIR)/`pwd | sed 's,.*/\([^/]*/[^/]*\),\1,'`

MIDI = $(ABC:.abc=.midi)
PS = $(ABC:.abc=.ps)
AU = $(ABC:.abc=.au)

YAPS_SCALE=0.9

#TIMIDITY=timidity -c gravis.cfg
TIMIDITY=timidity

.SUFFIXES:  .ps .dvi .tex .abc .midi


all: $(PS) $(MIDI) $(AU)

clean:
        rm -f $(PS) $(MIDI) $(AU)

# No longer recompile stuff since the tools may not be on the WWW server.
install :
        mkdir -p $(TARGET_DIR)
        cp $(ABC) $(AU) $(TARGET_DIR)
        #gzip -9 -c $(PS) > $(TARGET_DIR)/$(PS).gz
        cp $(PS) $(TARGET_DIR)

index: *.abc
        abc2mtex -i *.abc
        sort_in

joue: $(MIDI)
#       $(TIMIDITY) -L /usr/local/lib/timidity/instruments -ig *.mid
        $(TIMIDITY) -ig *.mid

.abc.tex: Makefile
        abc2mtex -x -o $*.tex $*

.abc.dvi: Makefile
        abc2mtex -x -o $*.tex $*
        tex $*
        #musixflx $*
        tex $*

%.midi : %.abc Makefile
        -abc2midi $<
        #cat $**.mid > $@

%.au : %.midi Makefile
        -$(TIMIDITY) -id -OrMU -s8 -o $@ $**.mid

%.ps : %.abc Makefile
        #abc2ps $* -x -n -p -O = -o
        yaps $< -s $(YAPS_SCALE)

#.abc.ps:
#       abc2mtex -x -o $*.tex $*
#       tex $*
#       #musixflx $*
#       tex $*
#       dvips -o $*.ps $*.dvi
