Re: [LAU] voices from midi - Linux-audio-user

Lilypond can convert midi to lilypond and then also produce midi. Lilypond is mainly what
I use. In the past I have exported to musicxml in proprietary programs then used lilypond
utilities to convert musicxml into midi.

What do you need this for?

 I have lots of  music typed into nted -- probably 100s of hours of work.
 I need to port this to... well shall we say... more portable applications?
 I like to use linux and nted is a sweet app.
 But to expect my music-buddies to know how to spell "linux", or that OS and
 Windows are not synonymous is faintly ridiculous.  For that it looks like
 musescore fits the bill. I work on linux they work on windows (some macs)
 and there are not conflicts when we swap music.

 If I could get things out via lilypond or musicxml that would be ideal but
 neither work.

 So midi is the only (constricted) pipeline between nted and musescore. I have no
idea how useful/convenient this could be, but have you
considered abc?

I believe there are other options out there for converting midi to
textual representation and back, but, once again, I really don't know
how useful any of it would be in this context.
