PS, Roger: Any notation software in the world can read Joe's MIDI file and print it. "Modern format"? Indeed not, but still known everywhere.
Alternatively, copy the above ABC text (from the "X:" to "... his name." into the entry box at Folkinfo - you will get the sheet music as a PDF file or an image to print - modern enough.
In 2001, Bob used the the (now-obsolete) Mudcat MIDItxt utility, which did not produce perfect ABC notation, but it did give an approximation of the general idea of the melody. In 2012, I used Noteworthy Composer to transcribe a MIDI from the original source, and I added a link to Bob's 2001 post. -Joe Offer-
