i finally for the first time went to the link
which I see by all those song files that have the
strings of red letters. The place that is supposed
to tell you what it all means and how to read it
seems not to be there any longer...anyone know
about this?

Alan Foster created MIDItext because at the time, we didn't have a place to store MIDI files online at Mudcat. Nowadays, if you send MIDIs to MMario or me, we post them. MIDItext is a nifty little program. It takes a bit to learn it, but I have my computer set up so I can convert MIDI to text and back again in maybe 30 seconds.

As I come across them, I've been converting the MIDItext code to MIDIs, and posting them in the Mudcat MIDI section.

Yes, I know I can search for them and find them more efficiently, but that would give me a whole lot of work, all at once. If I dawdle, maybe MMario will do it before I get to it.
