Subject: RE: Tech: If you want to share a useful MIDI...
For example, we wanted to play 'Upon a Summer's Day' at our last dance, and it occurred in our country dance book in the key of Ab - four flats. 75% of the group said, "Oh no."

So I downloaded it in Em from abcnotation.com, fixed the measures (because the author hadn't known Rule 1) printed and voila! If I hadn't found it in Em, I would have been able to change the key I found.

Some of the dance music is too fast for me, so I download the MIDI's, add a staff and write my own, simpler part.

I have a friend with bad vision, and I print great big scores for him.

I woke up one morning wanting to play 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring,' and I downloaded it and removed the ugly chromatic part. Printed it an played it.

And as a Mudcatter once observed, he likes to find MIDI's because then he can hear the tune.
