Hi all,

I have discovered the Notation Musician software on the web, but I can not use it, the manual is too hard for me to understand.

I have one simple question, and hopefully, an experimented user will be giving me an answer.

It is hard to find in france country music sheets, however, midi file can be loaded from the web. I am playing on a yamaha arranger keyboard for fun.
My question is : How is it possible to get, from a midi file, a lead music sheet, that show, the chord and the right hand? I have tried to do it on achy breaking heart.midi file.

Believe me , I have tried to work it out, but without succes. The printing I have does not correspond to anything correct. What am I doing wrong ?

I will be awaiting your answers...and your explinations.

Thanks to all of you

Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,

If you can please post the .mid file that you are using it will be helpful.

There is a feature in Part called "Prepare Fake Sheet" that will do what you want, but sometimes it's tricky to figure out which staff to select for the "Melody line" staff. Having the file to see and hear will help in figuring that out.

ttfn,
Sherry

Hi Sherry

Thanks for your fast repply. I appreciated it.

The midi file is attached (I think...)

I would be very gald if you can tell me how to do it. I have tried many things, and no way to get it.

I have also incorporated a pdf for your review. I am playing the pdf which seems to be the right song. I guess, the software should give about the same isn't it ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,

The sheet music you get from a .mid file may not necessarily match exactly sheet music that you have bought. Notation Musician will give you the transcription of the MIDI file from the data that it has, which is dependent on the person who originally sequenced the file. Sometimes it is the same, sometimes it is different.

To use the MIDI file that you have, you will need to (1) merge the Lyric and Clean electric guitar staves (Staff/Merge) and then (2) use the Part/Prepare Fakesheet wizard. When you do the Chord transcription, you'll probably only want to use the Acoustic Guitar and Bass staves, and use the "Easy chords" option for the chord transcription (Options).

It will still be somewhat different than the pdf file you have, but it will look much more like it than if you use all staves for the analysis.

Enjoy

Hi Sherry,

I have followed your note. Thanks. I understand the way it is working. I have to merge before going to the printing of a music sheet.

However, I have note on the result that the clef showned is a bass and not the not the treble.

I found the way to translate from bass clef to treble (menu clef) but the notes are away from the inside grid (5 lines). How is it possible to modify the note so they appear to be in the center (normal octave).

Sorry I am not a musician and I am probably using wrong word. I do apologize to all the musician.

Thank for your help
Regards
Marc
