Peerless Elite Rolls Transcribed to MIDI Files
By Jon Guy

Hi Group,  As I posted previously [040713 MMDigest], Frank Himpsl
has successfully scanned my Peerless Elite coin piano music rolls.
This is a great way to preserve old tattered rolls or rolls in
obscure formats that may be lost otherwise.  Another feature would
be to use the music for other formats: to make "A" rolls,
for instance.

I am sending a MIDI file of one complete roll.  Some tunes are
unidentified so I would appreciate letting me know if you can name
any of them, some seem to be turn-of-the-century.

Cakewalk users may pull down the markers pane for a selectable
tune list.  The velocity is set at 80, which is okay for sound card
listeners, however if played on a solenoid piano you probably want
to scale the velocity down to 60 or below.
