Re: Smart PianoSoft disk convert to MIDI?

2009-02-26 by panthersong

Dear Carol,

Thank you so much for your message and for the fantastic web site. The
information there is wonderful and answers my questions, I believe.
The disk I bought is "Duets" by Barbra Streisand (disk 00505267). The
song I want to make sheet music for is the last one, "All I Know of
Love." I've tried everywhere to find the sheet music for this song and
so far haven't been able to locate any. But I will try the steps you
suggest to get a midi from the disk and keep my fingers crossed. 

Thanks again,
Gale
