No doubt you've all been wondering if I will ever get the MIDI of Kalenda Maia into a useable form, and I'm glad to announce that I finally did it. I went back to whatever site that was (see previous thread), right-clicked on the little tape player, and saved the song to the A drive. It is harder for a file to hide on a floppy diskette - heh heh.

Then I told Noteworthy Composer to open it, and this time I unchecked the box that says to save each track to a different staff. This eliminated about six staffs and put the melody on one line. Ta da!

However, the melody was full of funny rests (the result of NWC being too literal about the fingering) so I did it all over, this time changing the resolution to 1/8 rests instead of 1/16th rests. Now it looks like a song. I've had to transpose it three times so far, but I'm still not in the key our superstar sings it in, but I will, in time, prevail.

Meanwhile, they call this painful process "surfing the Web..."
