MIDI Data in Text Format
By Matt Spolin, forwarded by Robbie Rhodes

Automatic-Music member Claus Kucher in Vienna explores many web-venues. ... I have a recollection of a DOS program named something like "SongWriter", which used a Midi/Text file structure with parser. Hey, Steve Goodman, didn't you use it for awhile? Is this a useful format, or is it another dinosaur? [Why doesn't he just use Midi file format?!]
