What it does do
MIDI2TEX inputs a type 1 MIDI file
section
and translates this into source code for MusicTEX .
Several features of the program are listed below:
- Maximum of 16 tracks translated
- Vertical alignment of notes in staffs
- Generation of beams and slurs
- Text in MIDI file supported
- Changes in signature supported
- Quantizing
- Insertion of rests
- Skipping of tracks
- Combine several tracks into one instrument
- Selection of either violin, bass or alto clef for any track
- Reordering of tracks
- Changing vertical alignment
- Changing size of the music document
- Generate flats and sharps while taking into account the general signature
Most importantly, MIDI2TEX will do the massive job of coding note events
in the MIDI file into MusicTEX notes. It speeds up the lay-out
process of your sheet music tremendously.
After the translation process you
can manually adapt the MusicTEX source code to meet the
desired lay out.
