Hmm, in RG 1.7.3 and the lilypond-2.12.3 (the latest stable version) I
got some lilypond sustainUp / sustainDown errors after importing the
midi file and removing the bass and drums tracks. Upgrading to RG
10.02 seemed to help.
Try Rosegarden. I imported the MIDI into Rosegard 1.7.0, deleted the
bass and drum tracks, then selected the Preview with Lilypond option and
got fine looking sheet music (albeit the whole track on a single stave).
As a pianist, I'd want to split it into the standard bass and treble
staff, though.
I was able to split the segment at middle C using
RG's Segments > Split
That created a "piano upper" segment and a "piano lower" segment on
the same midi track. With you so far...
Split on Pitch option, set to use Treble and Bass
Clef. You could
experiment with the split point if needed. Then I selected the segments
(it keeps them linked), cut them, and pasted them back. That broke their
linking and I was able to drag the lower segment to the track below and
got a very usable piece of sheet music.
I'm not parsing what you mean by "Then I selected the segments
(it keeps them linked), cut them, and pasted them back." I tried
cutting and pasting the piano upper and lower segments but I got
either all bass clefs or all treble clefs. Can you clarify further
please. Thanks!
