Why not play it directly with a keyboard?
That's much easier and the result may be better :-)
Just joking. But I don't think that it is so easy to get playable sheet
music without any manual interaction from a midi file. A midi file
doesn't know anything about signatures; sometimes nothing about the
meter; in a midi file there is no difference between E-flat and D-sharp;
the dynamics may be hidden in a midi file or completely missing; a
worked-out midi file will contains notes you never would notate this
way in sheet music; etc. etc.
If you have some midi-files you are keen on as sheet music, try
http://www.notation.com/ and you will see, what I mean. If you learn
playing from sheet music MidiNotate generates _without_ any interaction
you will never learn to play from real sheet music.
