My introduction and what I am using Perl MIDI for...typesetting!

Hello,

My name is Charles Cave and I live in Sydney, Australia.
I work in the software industry and my hobbies include
Perl programming, piano playing (approximately
Grade 4 standard on the Australian Music Examinations
Board) syllabus.  I have a solid understanding of music
theory, but only a minimal understanding of the contents
of a MIDI file.

I have joined this list because I have recently started using
a program called MUP (Music Publishing) from www.arkkra.com
This program takes a specification for a score then creates
a Postscript file for printing, and optionally, a MIDI file for
"proof-listening".

I would like to write a Perl program that takes a MIDI file then
creates a music score in the MUP language. I found a conversion
program in Perl but doesnt use this MIDI module, so the code
is difficult to follow!

My goal is to use MIDI-Perl to parse a MIDI file, then extract 
each track information and convert to note names and durations
(in musical terms).

Maybe someone else on this list has produced scores from MIDI files?

I have a very cheap CASIO keyboard connected to my PC and
Anvil Studio sequencer software. 

Charles
