Disklavier

Hi Spencer,
Thank you for your response.
Actually I have already sent you an email in regard to this so forgive the double up if you discover the duplicated message.
Your e-piano comp files have been just wonderful. Especially in my teaching when I am able to quickly search for a particular piece of music and getting it playing on  the Disklavier.
I am happy to help you update your midi files. If you are happy to add the meta date etc to the file names I will send you all the files. 
It may take a bit of time but I will try my best to get them to you.
Sound like a fair deal?  :)
Cheers,

i have all of the e-comp files up to 2011 with meta data as keyworded text events and track names as composites of title composer and performer. i also have tag.txt files for these which can be used with mid2pianocd. i had to download the meta data from the web site and insert it into the files because the earlier stuff did not have this data in the files. it looks like the 2017 files might have this data which would make it much easier to add the data in a consistent format as i did with the older files. i donot want to take the large amount of time needed to download all of these files but if someone will send them to me i can add the text events and track names to the post 2011 files. i think that i formatted the text events so the data shows up in van bascos.

Hi All,




I have a large number of midi files that are saved using abbreviated titles. 

However, in the actual midi file themselves there is a lot of other information regarding the name of the music and performer etc.




These include files available from the e-piano-competition (http://www.piano-e-competition.com/midi_2017.asp)  




For example, the attached file is named "CaoJ01.mid " however, the detail are found as text events within the file:




text_event 0 Title: Prelude and Fugue in D Minor, WTC II, BWV 875

text_event 0 Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach

text_event 0 Performer: John Cao




My question therefore is this: is there a program that allows one to search multiple files based on information within the file.... or is there a quick way to rename the files using the text event info.




At the moment I have no way of storing the many (100's) of midi file in any logical order.




Many Thanks!

Carl
