Title: Normalizing MIDI files
Post by: Warren Porter on 2023-07-30 11:40 am
In most music, especially popular music, 32nd and 64th notes are extremally rare but are all to frequent in downloaded midi files. Is there any way to fix this?  My guess is they come when someone is playing to create a midi file and their timing isn't perfect (whose is?) or middle notes in a guitar chord for example.

These are some sample measures (treble clef, E major)
Code: (nwc) [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.751,Single)
|Rest|Dur:Half,Dotted
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:-2,1
|Bar
|Chord|Dur:4th,Dotted|Pos:-1,1
|Chord|Dur:8th|Pos:-1^,1^
|Chord|Dur:4th|Pos:-1,1|Opts:Stem=Down
|Note|Dur:16th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:2|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam
|Note|Dur:64th|Pos:n1|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam
|Note|Dur:32nd,Dotted|Pos:#1|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
|Bar
|Chord|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:1,3
|Chord|Dur:8th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Chord|Dur:8th|Pos:1,3|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End


TIA

You can fiddle with Options -> Import -> Note resolution and Rest resolution, but I must admit I've never really seen much difference or, at least, not the difference I expected.
A passage through MuseScore (importing MIDI and exporting MIDI or mxml) sometimes does miracles. ;-)

I'll be trying that soon. Thanks.
