Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
Don, You've got me a bit puzzled here. I've been using MusicTime for years and had no problem exporting MIDI (.mid) files from it., or importing a MIDI file to turn into a score. What's the actual problem you're having - just in case I'm able to help at all. Kevin. Don Parrish-Bell wrote: Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there, Neil? Ok, so one part of my problem is easily solvable by various means (import a MIDI file to extract a workable source score), so my next question for all of you is does anyone know of a program that will record a MIDI stream that is being played through the sound card and store it into a MIDI file. Since Music Time seems too limited to export a score into a MIDI-formatted file, this might be a solution. thank you, Don At 11:17 PM 3/30/2004, you wrote: Oh yes, and if you find it useful, or are impressed by it's facilities, PLEASE let us all know!

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
Thank you! I hadn't even thought of that ... and yet it seems such an obvious thing to do. We do have a Yamahi keyboard that should be able to do that. I will give that a try.

Connect your sound card to a keyboard that can record a Midi stream onto a floppy disk.

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
No sarcasm at all, a genuine request for positive feedback. I don't know of such a program, but might be able to write one. The only difficult point is finding out how to assign the data stream. Once that is done, I can easily capture the MIDI events to a file. At 06:29 PM 3/31/04, you wrote: Do I detect a bit of sarcasm there, Neil?

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There is a manual included in the download, a little out of date on the newer options but still valid for most.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.

Re: [abcusers] File Conversion
You could download the current demo from http://www.gvox.com/ (about 6Mb). I didn't look at the the demo, but if it's fully featured, you may be able to export your files to some stable format. Mick

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
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?
