Music Composer Programs
« on: June 09, 2005, 06:46:49 PM »
Do any of you use a program to convert midi or mp3 files into sheet music??  If so, I'd like to know what those programs are and how you like them.

Merci!

Music Composer Programs

I myself do it the other way around. As a composer mainly use finale software to compose and it also has the option to create a midi file from your score. But if your going to use Finale use the most recent editions as the instrument sounds on the older ones are not as good and will not yield a good midi result.

sheet music from MIDI files
« Reply #2 on: June 22, 2005, 09:29:05 PM »
Yep, I do that at times.  I use Finale, but I've heard that Sibelius is a much easier program to use, and most of the composers/arrangers that I've worked with highly reccomend Sibelius.  I'm still stuck on Finale because that's where I started. Making sheet music from MIDI files can be really awkward, unless the music is real simple... all eighth notes, for example.  Its rare to get a piece of music that's all eigth notes, and depending on your quantization, chords seem to all have 64th notes tied to them, or runs all appear as chord clusters.  It takes a lot of tweaking to make it look right on the page.  I usually open a MIDI file set to quarter note quantization, then the same file with eighth note quant, 16th, then thirtysecond quantization - so I've now got about 5 or 6 different files, then copy and paste to a master.  If anyone knows a better or easier way, I would really LOVE to know how!

Some programs like Cakewalks Sonar or it's older software has that program on it.  It's great.
