- - WHAT IS MIDGET?
-
- Midget is a music program for people who like to compose music without
- using a score-based interface (ie: one where you place notes on a music
- score, using a mouse). I originally developed it because I had purchased a
- new sound card, which had extra MIDI voices on it, and I needed a piece of
- software that supported it - and I also needed a piece of software that
- used MIDI, without the hassle of point-and-click or MIDI keyboard input.
-
- What's different? The interface allows the composer to hear notes as they are
- entered, and review them if necessary. With most MIDI programs, the user has
- to enter data on to an image of a music manuscript. This takes considerable
- skill and time to get it to sound as you want it to. It has been my
- experience that while errors are corrected in the music, my inspiration has
- to be ignored. Midget allows the composer to enter a note, instantly change
- it if necessary, and continue, in a fraction of the time this operation would
- take with common MIDI file editors.

-
- - INSTALLATION

- If you would like to distribute Midget on a large scale (eg: cover-discs),
- please let me know. This will help me to keep track of how Midget is being
- distributed.
-
- Distribution of Midget along with another commercial package must first be
- discussed and approved by me in writing. It is unlikely that I will say no
- to such an opportunity, but there are certain conditions that may need to be
- met.
-
- What you do with your music is up to you - there are no special agreements
- involved, no royalties, etc. (although a mention in the credits would be
- nice!)
