I'll be posting docs sometime this weekend. And big thanks to Graham,
Manuel, Carl, et al who helped me get 'this' act together.

Fantastic, Jeff !!! Number 3 is/remains my personal favorite.

Echoing Prent Rodgers, this is indeed an active time of good music on MMM.

I'm glad you took my initial suggestion to explore piano soundfonts. They make
your pieces infinitely easier to digest. And I'm glad there were so many
Timidity experts around here to help you get these realizations up !

I myself don't use Timidity. For soundfonts, I use 'fluidsynth', a Linux
application. Sometime if you post some docs about your Timidity experience,
I'll be curious to try that on Linux as well...

Cheers,

I've only been following peripherally. Is it the case that Scala
can add the retuning sysex to any file, whereas before you were
using Scala to generate a file of just the sysex, hoping to feed
that to timidity before your score, and then you tried to prepend
it to your score yourself, neither of which worked?

Nice!

Say, these are pitched lower than your previous renderings.

Also, you've mismarked No. 1 as No. 2 in its metadata.

Exactly. Scala's addition of the retuning information worked, while
mine didn't.

Yeah, you're right. I'm looking into that. OK, fixed... still about
a quartertone flat, but I'm sick of working on it. Had to tranpose it
up a 19ET major second. Weird.

Thanks! Fixed. All files uploaded. Ouch, and I thought I was going
to get some composing done today. ;-(
