Re[2]: [disklavier] editing filenames with Vista PC

2007-08-23 by Spencer_Lists

Greetings JORGE,

I have written some programs that add title and other text information
to MIDI files. They work from information in a tab delimited text file
which can be edited in excel or notepad. I have made these for my own
use and add text information that is in the format that I need.

If there is interest and if someone will provide the information (or
example files)about what the DKV needs as MIDI events to display
properly, I'll make a custom version of the program.

The first column of the reference list has the file name and other
columns can contain any text to be added. It runs in batch mode on a
folder of files and does not require opening the files themselves in a
sequencer. I frequently use my version to update the text information
in folders of thousands of files.
