Re the "pretty good MIDI" made with Finale NotePad Plus, I need to partially retract that.
Finale NotePad Plus does make MIDIs, but they don't play as smoothly as the sound from playing the sheet music of the same file! At least, that's my experience with two different sheet music/MIDI files I made of the same song. When I play back the sheet music, it sounds pretty much right (few glitches, and very minor). When I save the file as a MIDI and play the MIDI back, it seems to skip and trip over its own 'feet,' in places -- especially when moving from one page of sheet music to the next.
So, for now, the MIDI here at Mudcat (see link above) is correct re tempo, harmonies, etc. --- except for the tripping, skipping, and stumbling when the virtual page is being turned!
In that MIDI, the guitar has the melody and the flute is harmony. The percussion block is supposed to represent a guitar slap or tap.
