There is a program called Transcribe! that is intended as an aid in aurally transcribing music. It has so many useful features in this regard. But it can also generate a piano roll style notation that works reasonable well, even of polyphonic pieces. He has some contextual smarts in there for determining chords I think. I have tried to encourage the designer, Seven Strings Software, https://www.seventhstring.com/, to elaborate on this to save the piano roll out as a midi or musicXML file. He says he is not interested in doing this because he says it is important for people to do things aurally. That’s all well and good, but I can’t help feeling like this would be a fantastic feature too. Someone will do it.
