markc / midicomp Goto Github PK

I'm trying to convert a directory full of MIDIs using this bash #!/bin/bash FILES=/path/to/MIDIs for i in $FILES;do midicomp ${i} > ${i}_output.txt; done but I'm getting the error Segmentation fault (core dumped). Am I doing something wrong?

hi there,

Although there's explicit license information in the readme, I guess it would be nice to have a COPYING or LICENSE file in the repo, so we could be quite sure that we could pack and ship it.

I've cloned the repo, created the build dir and ran 'cmake' successfully but no make file is created to run 'make' with. Am I missing something?

I want to preface this by saying I know nothing of the SMF/MIDI format (formats?). The end goal is to be able to play d_e1m1.mid from http://www.theparticle.com/midi/doommidi.html on a device that only supports SMF format 0.

I used the current git master on a Linux system, and used timidity++ for playback testing locally.

This is what I tried:

$ ./midicomp d_e1m1-orig.mid > d_e1m1.asc
$ cp d_e1m1.asc d_e1m1.asc.orig
$ vi d_e1m1.asc
[make changes]
$ diff -up d_e1m1.asc.orig d_e1m1.asc

The resulting file seems broken, and will play no sound and stop after 3 seconds. Would I need to do anything else? Are there inherent incompatibilities between the formats? If so, could midicomp warn about using features that would not work in the defined format when compiling?

Here are the test files and the intermediary files, to compare with your build, just in case:
midicomp-test.zip

Nothing major.

write it's own plain text format should be its.
easily parseble text should be parseable
