About 150 MIDI Fiddle Tunes converted to Notation
 

When I first started with Notation Composer it would take me a couple days to "fix up" a MIDI to be usable. Now it takes about 15 minutes each. So even if I did it fresh today it would take 40 hours to build these. And that doesn't include the time finding a good midi to start with.

95% of these tunes come from http://abcnotation.com/

What I have done beyond just loading in the MIDI and saving is:

All repeated looping removed from the MIDI and reentered as Music Notation with repeat symbols that Notation Software obeys. Most tunes will fit on one modest size laptop screen in a good size font. NO JUMPing around as it plays which makes me lose my place !!

All tunes loop the entire song 3 times using Repeat instructions. Royal pain in the butt to add to each tune.

All tunes have a nice count in. So you are on the beat when the melody starts.

All tunes have pickup measure properly aligned (a problem when importing a lot of MIDI's).

Most all tunes have chords labeled.

Most all tunes have some sort of chorded instrument as well as a melody.

You can find them all here http://softronix.com/fiddle/Music/Notation/

Incredibly generous of you! I play recorder and a lot of these gems fit nicely on a C recorder.

Thanks

I just refreshed the directory. There are now about 250 :)

Note that a lot of files have multiple versions and some might be left on say just playing Melody or Just playing Accompaniment.

So play around with Viewing different "Parts" and look under Staff Setup to see which Staffs might be Muted (for each "Part").

Some "Parts" might not have a correct set of staffed unmuted staffs (Like 2 Melodies playing at once). Most should play fine by default.

I jump between playing KeyBoard accompaniment and fiddle and I never know what state I might have last left one.

They are all work in progress.
