MIDI file into printable sheet music
on: June 27, 2008, 12:56:24 AM
My daughter composed a piece of music on our keyboard, it's loaded into the computer but I have no idea what kind of program to use so she can work with it. She would really like to be able to print it off instead of writing it out note for note like she's done in the past. It's quite long and advanced. I don't want to spend a fortune on software like Sibulis, etc. Has anyone used some good software for this? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks.

I have imported MIDI into Noteworthy Composer which is freeware.
You do get the right notes. But, you end up doing a LOT of editing. It doesn't put notes on the staff you want, and note values can end up being seriously weird. Like instead of straight quarter notes, if your daughter's timing is off just a little one quarter note may end up as an eighth note with 3 dots, etc.
Still it costs you nothing to try. Download Noteworthy Composer (you should have it anyway), tell it to File/Open/your composition.
I'm sure there are programs that try to open MIDI more accurately. But I haven't heard of any that do a really good job.
