abcMIDI is a package of programs developed by James Allwright for processing ABC music notation files. It consists of several programs: abc2midi, abc2abc, yaps, and midi2abc.

abc2midi is probably the most advanced program for creating MIDI files from ABC files. It contains special features, such as handling multivoiced files, expanding guitar chords into bass chordal accompaniment, transposing individual voices, and adding percussion accompaniment. All the MIDI files on Aubrey Jaffer's web site were created from ABC files using this program.

abc2abc is a useful utility for reformating ABC files, checking the syntax, transposing to another key, extracting particular voice lines, updating the chords or slur notation and for other functions.

yaps converts an ABC music file into a PostScript file containing the common music notation. The source code in this program is not a clone of abc2ps (the original ABC to PostScript conversion application) and takes an independent approach.

All three of these programs share a single parser (parseabc.c) so that they interpret the ABC file in a uniform way. This is useful in tracking problems. If you cannot tell what is going wrong by listening to the MIDI file, you may have more success looking at the PostScript file produced by yaps.

Midi2abc is another useful program included with this package. It produces an ABC file from a MIDI file. In some circumstances the resulting ABC file is not particularly easy to read, but it is a fairly accurate representation of the MIDI file. This program is also useful for debugging abc2midi when the output file does not sound quite right (which may happen with multivoiced ABC files).

All of these programs run with a command line interface, however there are a few packages which act as a front end to these programs and provide a graphical user interface (eg. runabc.tcl found at this website).

James Allwright has stopped development and maintenance of this software and has tranferred this task to me (seymour dot shlien at crc dot ca). My main goals are to fix any bugs, improve the documentation, make the code as compatible as possible with the existing database of ABC files and finally track the evolving ABC standard. (The last two items may sometimes be in conflict.) Since abc2mps is becoming the main standard for creating PostScript files from ABC files, less effort will be devoted to supporting the yaps software. (I will fix problems where yaps crashes with a segmentation error, but I will not try to bring it to the same level as abcm2ps.)

I am rather cautious about introducing new features that address a select community of users. Though it may be easy to implement the new feature in one program, a lot more work may be involved to make these features work with all the other functions (e.g. transposing software in abc2abc, multivoiced files, bass chordal accompaniment, etc.). The software is already complex enough for my taste.

NAME

midi2abc - program to convert MIDI format files to abc notation

SYNOPSIS

Midi Music Notation Software

time signature] [-ppu parts per unit] [-aul denominator of unit length][-gu] [-b bars] [-Q tempo] [-u pulses][-k key] [-c channel] [-obpl] [-bpl bars] [-bps bars][-o filename] [-s] [-sr units] [-sum] [-nt][-splitbars] [-splitvoices] [-midigram] [-mftext] [-nogr] [-title string][-origin string]

DESCRIPTION

midi2abc takes a MIDI format file and converts it to something as closeas possible to abc text format. The user then has to add text fields notpresent in the MIDI header and possibly tidy up the abc note output.

The output of midi2abc is printed to the screen. To save it to a file, usethe redirection operator, (e.g. midi2abc -f file.mid > file.abc) orspecify the output file using the -o option.

Use only one or none of the options -u -gu, -b and -Q. Midi2abc normallyconverts the MIDI time units into quantum units normally corresponding to theabc 1/16th note or 1/32nd note. If none of these is present, theprogram will use the PPQN information in the MIDI header to compute the suitableconversion factor. For most MIDI files on the web, it is recommended to rely on the MIDI header information and not use any of the options other thanthe formatting options.

The program will extract the time signature infromation from the MIDI fileif it is present. Otherwise it will assume 4/4 or you could specify it with-m. option.

If the tune has an anacrusis, you can use either the -ga or -xa option to estimate the its length. Alternatively, you can specify its value using the -aoption. The anacrusis is specified in half unit lengths, where the unitlength is defined by the L: field. For example if L: 1/8, then aquarter note would be indicated by the value 4, (4 1/16 units).

OPTIONS

-splitvoices
This parameter like above handles polyphonic chords bysplitting an entire voice into multi voices.
-midigram
When this option appears, all other options are ignored andno abc file is produced. Instead a list of all notes in theMIDI file are printed in a fixed format. Each line representsa pair of MIDI note on/off event. The line contains theon/off time of the note, its track number, channel number,midi pitch and midi velocity. The last record indicatesthe duration of the MIDI file in MIDI pulse units. Theoutput is designed to go into a graphical user interfacewhich will produce a graphical representation (piano roll).
-mftext
When this option appears, all other options are ignored andno abc file is produced. Instead a list of all the MIDIcommands are printed. The output is designed to go intoa graphical user interface provided by runabc.tcl.
-title string
Replaces the default title field following T: withthe given string.
-origin string
Adds an O: field with the given string.

FEATURES

* The key is chosen so as to minimize the number of accidentals. Alternatively, the user can specify the key numerically (a positive numberis the number of sharps, a negative number is minus the number of flats).

* Note length can be set by specifiying the total number of bars or the tempo of the piece. Alternatively the note length can be read from the file.However, by default it is deduced in a heuristic manner from the inter-note distances. This means that you do not have to use the MIDI clock as a metronome when playing in a tune from a keyboard.

* Barlines are automatically inserted. The user specifies the number ofmeasures in the anacrusis before the first barline and the time signature.

* The program can guess how the length of the anacrusis,either by looking for the first strong note or minimizing the number ofnotes split by a tie across a barline.

* Where a note extends beyond a bar break, it is split into two tied notes.

* The output has 4 bars per line.

* Enough accidental signs are put in the music to ensure that no pitcherrors occur if a barline is added or deleted.

* The program attempts to group notes sensibly in each bar.

Rational rose crack version free download torrent. * Triplets and broken rhythm (a>b) are supported.

* Chords are identified.

* Text information from the original MIDI file is included as comments.

* The -c option can be used to select only 1 MIDI channel. Events on other channels are ignored.

LIMITATIONS

midi2abc does not ..

* Supply tune title, composer or any other field apart from X: , K:, Q:, M:and L: - these must be added by hand afterwards, though they may have beenincluded in the text of the MIDI file.

* Support duplets, quadruplets, other esoteric features.

* Support mid-tune key or time signature changes.

* Deduce repeats. The output is just the notes in the input file.

* Recover an abc tune as supplied to abc2midi. However, if you want todo this, 'midi2abc -xa -f file.mid' comes close.
