I have now uploaded the first version of this program to a private area on my web site, for anyone who wishes to try it

At the moment, because it hasn't yet been packaged as a full install, you will have to install my program Midi Chords FIRST, in order to install all the components (OCX files) needed.

Go to www.chappuzeau.net
click on the Private Area link, and enter the password as below (All lower case)

midigig

You can then download the two items as zips. Install instructions are shown as well.

The functionality is described in items on the HELP menu, but should be fairly clear from the command buttons too.

1. You can play MIDI files from the list
2. Yo can make up, save and use playlists
3. You can edit the MIDI files to change the key, or tempo
4. You can mute selected channels, to remove the lead if present
5. You can display the words from a text file linked to the MIDI (Must have the same name and be in the same folder)
6. You can edit the words
7. You can find all MIDI files in a folder, optionally searching subfolders
8. You can also search for text files and playlists
9. The search results will also display any title encoded in the MIDI file
10. You can rename a file to use the title as filename (Many MIDI filenames do not tell you what the song is!)
11. Any time you copy or rename a file, the associated word file, if present, is also renamed or copied.
12. No files are ever deleted, simply renamed with an extension which hides them from the view. File extensions B00 thru B99 are used.

Hope this helps someone! Please let me know.












NOTE:
The screen is fixed at the moment, sized for Mrs Pavane's laptop.
If the display of the main form is too wide, you can find the SAVE command on the menu instead. Other forms shouldn't matter.
