Subject: RE: Tech: FIND MIDI Chords program now available
My first thought is Hitsquad which seems to specialise in shareware for musos.

As part of a separate thread I've been working out the score and chords for LOVING YOU HAS MADE ME BANANAS. I know that I have the printed score but my 'office' resembles a Mid East bomb-site at the moment - that what happens when other family members treat it as junk room. In the interim I thought that I'd use the only MIDI I could find at URL: http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/eltonjohn/69/midi3.html or Click Here.

It's an interesting/masochistic challenge, but I came up with the following (chords apply to the offbeats in each 4/4 bar):

01__________Bb__________________
02__________Bb__________________
03__________Bb__________________
04__________Bb__________________
05__________Fm________Bdim
06__________Gm6_________________
07__________Cm9_______Adim
08__________Bb________C7
09__________Cm7_______Adim
10__________Bb__________________
11__________Bb__________________
12__________Bb__________________
13__________Fm________Bdim
14__________Gm6_________________
15__________Cm7_______Cm6
16__________Bb__________________
17__________Bb__________________
18__________Ab________E7
19__________Eb__________________
20__________Ab________Bb7
21__________Eb__________________
22__________Fsus4_____C7
23__________F___________________
24__________Bb________C7
25__________Cm7_______Adim
26__________Bb__________________
27__________Bb__________________
28__________Bb__________________
29__________Fm________Bdim
30__________Gm6_________________
31__________Cm9_______Adim
32__________Bb


I should point out that I tried to maintain the integrity of the chord structures but simplified the meter for use at Mudcat. I don't particularly like the successive use of the Bb bars, but that's what the MIDI presented me. I also used only the first 32 bars of the arrangement. You may find that the chords look neater in a fixed pitch font, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Have a look if you have some spare time.
