Thanks for this suggestion. I have decided to do this up in Perl
instead of C. For those interested in this, here is my initial code.
It works, but does not look nice. You will have to install the Tk and
MIDI Perl modules.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk;
use Tk::Optionmenu;
use Tk::FBox;
use Tk::MsgBox;
use MIDI;
use strict;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $lbsel;
$mw->Label(-text => 'Convert to type:')->pack;
my $lb = $mw->Optionmenu(
-options => ['0', '1'],
-variable => \$lbsel
)->pack;
$mw->Button(
-text => 'Convert',
-command => sub {doConvert() }
)->pack;
$mw->Button(
-text => 'Quit',
-command => sub { exit }
)->pack;
MainLoop;
sub doConvert {
my $ffile = $mw->FBox(
-type => 'open',
-filetypes => [[ 'midi files', '.mid' ]],
-title => 'Select MIDI file to convert...'
)->Show;
if ($ffile ne "") {
my $tfile = $mw->FBox(
-type => 'save',
-filetypes => [[ 'midi files', '.mid' ]],
-title => 'Save converted file as...'
)->Show;
if ($tfile ne "") {
my $opus = MIDI::Opus->new({ 'from_file' => $ffile,
'no_parse' => 1 });
$mw->MsgBox(-title => "converting...", -detail =>
"converting to type: $lbsel", -type => 'ok')->Show;
$opus->format($lbsel);
$opus->write_to_file($tfile);
}
}
}

Thanks for that link. It appears that it will do the job (and there are
a few other programs there that might be helpful as well), but I would
prefer a native Linux app, if one exists.
If you have at least basic C coding skills you could try these MIDI
utilities (i.e. the corresponding MIDI file library):
http://www.sreal.com/~div/midi-utilities/
A format conversion to MIDI type 0 program would look something like
this (not tested - meant as primitive sketch).
#include "midifile.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
MidiFile_t myMidiFile = MidiFile_load("some_path_to_midifile");
MidiFile_setFileFormat(myMidiFile, 0);
return MidiFile_save(myMidiFile, "some_other_path_to_midifile");
}
Look at the other utilities and their Makefiles to see how to add
this to the whole set. Or just create a project on your own.
Of course you could add some cmdline parameter handling to parameterize
filenames, format and you could add other stuff like changing resolution
etc.
HTH,
Michael
