242 Lines

Changed the code so it creates lines of different colors for the octaves.

Here's one where they are placed on top of one another:

And another where they are combined into one easy to manage loan, I mean image. This is how I had originally intended the piece to end up and will now need to adjust to suit all types of midi files.

242 Development 8/6

Managed to split the notes according to their octave. this allows no overlapping (vertically) of notes. This makes it easier to read. 

Also added a check for Note On and Note Off functions and only draws on Note On functions. This stop the score doubling up.

I also have begun to play around with how it be displayed visually. This one is with low opacity rects rther than ellipses. The overlapping effect is really nice.

242 Beginnings

I have got the XLSreader working which will read in the midi values once they are converted to XLS format. This is done through a program I have downloaded.

 

Here is a quick tester for Ode To Joy. Colors are very basic but distinguish between note differences. Timing is also shown through spacing.

Like I said, very basic tester but now that this is working it should only be a matter of mucking around with the visuals.

One problem I have already seen is that unless the midi file differs between bass and treble notes then they just get overlayed.
