“Wow! That’s amazing! That opens up so many possibilities!”

I thought when I first glanced at a file. Then I tried to learn a song from the notation and… It’s just wrong.

Everything from single instruments with un-notated, elongated measures (meaning the other instruments would go out of sync unless every single measure following was rewrote), to ridiculous tempos with doubled up notes to create an effect that only works in midi format, to notes that are just plan wrong.

You see this?

That’s not the right note! It’s not an E! It’s an F sharp! It sounds like an F sharp when you play the file, but it’s wrote as an E in the program!

I tried a couple of different midis to see if it was a fluke but they’re all like that. Basically, it’s a nice thought, but in practice it’s just a hot mess.
