[LAU] Converting Midi file data to play on guitar

I'm working on some python scripts to mangle midi input data from a file, and am hoping I can get some input from others that have thought about it as well. These are some major issues and possible solutions I've seen. 1. When a chord is seen in the midi file: the correct voicing of the chord must be found on the guitar neck, and where multiple, which to use must be decided. 2. When picking notes: if based off a chord, that chord should be identified, so the user knows how to position their hand for the playing to feel natural. 3. When playing lead riff's, try to smoothly move between scale positions, and not stay on just 1 string. Sofware I'm workikng with pyrtmidi: live midi input data pythonmidi: file midi input data pychorelib: identify chords based on notes played in midi files/streams Sofware I've looked at that somewhat relates to this: dguitar kguitar neither dguitar or kguitar support any intelligent handling for guitars to actually make loading a midi file and playing from it useable. Why python? 1. I want to be able to have the output data from this be useable by other software. 2. I'm playing around with some idea's in blender, hence using python makes sense. Why not python? 1. I'm a bit new to python 2. I'd rather be coding in perl ;) Any feedback, links to similar work, or ideas are greatly appriciated. Nathanael
