Hi Joerg,
I found that your attached .pmx file worked fine (using the Linux version of
PMX). This rather surprised me 'cos there is a 128 character per line limitation
for PMX (see manual). If I get an error message in PMX which doesn't make sense
I always check that I haven't exceeded this limitation; I very often find it to
be the cause of the problem. The error is usually thrown in the line after the
too large one so I guess your code worked for me 'cos there was no next line.
I think PMX is great an would strongly urge that you export to it.
I have used Rosegarden to import MIDI files and then exported from there to PMX.
It works for less than 7 staffs but there are often problems with the resultant
.pmx file. I think that if the .mid file is accurate in note timings then all is
OK but if someone has made the file by playing in from a MIDI keyboard and
failed to be absolutely accurate the .pmx file throws up so many errors that
life is made difficult. Grace note, in particular, give a real problem.
Best wishes,
Howard.
