Thread Name: music in midi format that I can print
Subject: RE: music in midi format that I can print
Sharon, I create sheet music from midi in MusicTime Deluxe. I don't know that I do it in the most effective way, but here goes. I download midi files in the my sound file, Sound Blaster 16, as a .midi. I think you could probably put it in any file, just specific. I get a message which gives me the choice of "SAVE AS". Then I open up MT, go to "new: and type in the midi file name I want changed to sheet music. Beware that some tunes can have several staves. Sometimes you will have to delete those you don't want. I usually eliminate all but the melody line. If I am downloading an ABC,I usually do that to ABCMUS (via notebook or write,etc.). ABCMUS can convert to midi and saved in ABCMUS or I have the "SAVE AS" option. Then follow the above. The MIDITEXT program will do about the same thing and I have usually found the conversions in the MIDITEXT file itself. Hope this helps. Write me if you have any problems.
