Thread Name: Posting tunes with MIDItext
Subject: RE: Posting tunes with MIDITXT
John K, I don't see any real problems with posting multi-track MIDIs. This ground has been covered before but my understanding is that Max has ample disc space for the comparatively modest needs for any or all MIDI files. In the great majority of cases these files there is a track dedicated to the solo melody and isolating this track to either play or print is quite straightforward if you use a shareware package such as NoteWorthy Composer. NWC is probably the most commonly used programs for PC's around Mudcat.

If the tune is missing from the DT and has not been posted to Mudcat MIDIs I would encourage you to simply post the full versions.

As a further consideration these multi-track MIDIs provide unambiguous information about the arranger's view of harnony, bass lines and chords that will often be helpful to those people who aren't familiar with the song or genre. Let's provide every bit of assistance to newcomers that we possibly can so they can explore and enjoy our particular liturgy.

Regards, John
