Keith Thompson asked about programs to display MIDI note numbers.

Mickey Sadler wrote in 981120 MMDigest about the ABC2PS music
notation system.  There is a tool that comes with this called
mftext.exe which will dump a MIDI file to a human readable text
file.  The Macintosh MidiGraphy also generates a similar "event"
list.  MidiGraphy is available on most Mac shareware pages; Google
gives http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/MIDIGraphy/

I think a few here have also written some Cakewalk plug-ins for
checking chromatic ranges.

I have become a big fan of the ABC notation which goes beyond
the simple ASCII dump of the 'events'.
