• abc2midi don't like the smell of flower of scotland

    From Marc Chantreux@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 12 17:51:21 2019
    hello people,

    hello people,


    i'm very new to
    * this group
    * playing bagpipes
    * playing music
    * writing abc

    i'm used to unix but it doesn't help to play the the scot national
    anthem (which is what i want to do).

    So, to get both a sheet and a midi file as example, i downloaded

    http://www.partitions.bzh/fichier/313_Flower_of_Scotland.abc

    and tried to get the midi of it with abc2midi.

    i got those errors:

    4.11 January 01 2019 abc2midi
    Error in line-char 13-7 : Bad tie: possibly two ties in a row
    Error in line-char 14-7 : Cannot find note before tie
    writing MIDI file flower_of_scotland1.mid
    Warning in line-char 10-4 : Track 0 Bar 0 has 3 units instead of 6 in repeat Warning in line-char 27-5 : Track 0 Bar 17 has 2 units instead of 6 in
    repeat
    Warning in line-char 28-4 : Track 0 Bar 18 has 1 units instead of 6 in
    repeat

    to navigate from error to error, i started an abc plugin for vim (there
    abc syntax is already supported)

    https://github.com/eiro/vim-abc

    and i started to modify the file randomly (i have to admit i'm just
    starting to learn abc) but failed to have a midi file.

    so i tried

    http://terrytraub.org/abc/FlowerOfScotland.abc

    and have new errors.

    i want to learn ABC anyway but it would be a little long. waiting for
    the glorious moment i will be able to debug an abc file by myself: can
    anyone provide some assistance to abc2midi ?


    regards
    marc
