****************************************************************
************** README File for the MIDI2TeX translator *********
************** C version V.1.1 *********
****************************************************************
This is a release of MIDI2TeX, a MusicTeX preprocessor.
This software was designed to translate standard type 1 MIDI files
into MusicTeX source code. See the manual for further details about
the function and use.
The manual needs MusicTeX characters. So the platform that you
want to process this file on should have the MusicTeX files installed
(musicn20.tfm, musicn20.pk ...). If TeX complains that it cannot find
the files than delete the note macros at the start of the
manual: (\def\whole{\ .... \def\sixtyfourth{\ ... \end{picture} } )
and the new font definition : \newfont{\mus}{musicn20\magstep1}
In addition, you should delete these macros in the quantization time
table. I added the refman.sty file to the package which
the manual uses as it is not standard.
This version of MIDI2TeX may be copied freely on a non-commercial basis
(see manual for license info). I hope that those of you who will use
this software are kind enough to supply me with some feedback
about your findings in exchange for it. Bugs, wishes, complaints
or more happy messages are welcome at my e-mail address :
kuykens@amc.uva.nl.
The manual has some more information about bug report(s/ing).
Here are some suggestions for evaluation :
1. Did the program ever crash, if so what type of error messages were
generated ?
2. Did the program ever got stuck in an infinite loop ?
3. Was the syntax of the MusicTeX code that the program generated correct ?
4. Were the resulting scores correct ( i.e. what you expected ?)
5. Did all the options function correctly ?
6. Was the manual informative enough ?
7. Was the program user friendly ?
8. What options would you like to be added in future versions ?
