Hi all,
The following midi file is using 3 channels - (1) piano , (2) bass ,
(10) drums - and I want to create sheet music for only the piano part:
http://braziloutsource.com/random/poinciana.mid
I tried the following lilypond commands, but I only get the bass clef
in the created "poinciana-converted.pdf" file, as well as lots of
warnings in the last command:
midi2ly poinciana.mid -opoinciana.ly
convert-ly poinciana.ly > poinciana-converted.ly
lilypond poinciana-converted.ly
I tried removing the bass and drums channels in seq24, but opening the
file gives me a "Unsupported MIDI format detected: 0" error.
Please 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
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.
