MIDI Files of Original Music Rolls at Web Site
By Terry Smythe

Just a brief note to let all know that my second batch of roll scans
is now uploaded to my personal web site.  See:
http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/library.htm

As before, roll information is imbedded within each file in the
"File info" area.  Not all MIDI playback utilities will display this
data.  I ordinarily use Cakewalk Pro 9 which does display this data.

Robert Perry kindly put me onto Music Sculpture as a means of editing
this data into the file.  However, in many cases, I have considerable
data, sometimes just too much to imbed within the track itself.
Thoughts of others on how best to include this data into the files
would be appreciated.

Regards,

 [ Caution: "File info" may not travel with the MIDI data file.
 [ This is especially true when transferring files to a computer
 [ with a different file management system.  MIDI lyric and text
 [ events are frequently discarded by MIDI editing programs, so
 [ the surest way to store important information is to save it as
 [ track titles.  -- Robbie
