Walter Corey ABC on the Mudcat MIDI Site (14) RE: ABC on the Mudcat MIDI Site 21 Apr 00


I am still mourning the loss of those miniscule ABC files that used to hang out under the massive red midis. Neither do I want to ask people doing the midis to go to extra work each time creating ABCs. Could someone explain to a person who sometimes finds the "* For Dummies" series challening how to- A) go to the Mudcat Midi page B) select a midi file (bearing in mind that my computer does not take kindly to sound cards) and C)turn it into an ABC file, thus transforming something that my computer can't use into something that I can usually make a fair attempt at reading on my own. I do have the mid2txt & txt2mid programs installed, though so far, my success with them has been underwhelming. Directions like "open this file in Notepad" don't help me too much when I'm mired in a DOS-based program. I need directions like "double click this, then type in that, and then right click such and such a button". I did finally learn how to insert HTML breaks in a song, after several botched attempts, so perhaps this is not a totally unattainable goal.Thanks - Walter Corey
