Muse will convert MIDI to ABC. It uses one staff or one ABC voice per MIDI channel. Import the MIDI, save it as file type ABC.
If the MIDI was created by hand then it will probably convert very well (by any program, not just Muse). The problems come from MIDI that was created as a live performance where the beat may wander or where it came from a MIDI guitar which emits pitch bend commands if you so much as breathe or - well, you get the idea!

What's the best way to go from MIDI to ABC these days? (I'd be tempted to say that typing ABC from a score is easier than editing the output that I've seen from MIDI-to-ABC translators, but maybe there's something better than what I've seen. ;-) | Hi John, | | Would you be kind enough please to pass this request to the ABC Users | List. I now only subscribe to the Digest. It may also be of interest to | you as a future source of ABC's. | | I have just notated the melodies for the 100 Australian folk songs first | published by the Victorian Folk Music Club in 1969. They will now | publish these tunes (some of which are local variants to reasonably | well known songs) in MIDI format for downloading. | | I would be happy to convert these to ABC format for use at their | site as well, but being a lazy sod, I was hoping to do this via | some form of batch conversion, which I could then massage as necessary via a | | normal text editor. I am moderately well acquainted with ABC and I am a PC | user. | | Any assistance or ideas would be appreciated. | | Regards, | John Leahy | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
