Is there any algo or example (code) of how to convert MIDI file to eg Guitar Tablature?

I wouldn't have said that's an algorithm, it's really a rendering detail. Nothing is changed, the note is just rendered as tab.

It is not totally a rendering detail since each note can be rendered in several places

No, you're wrong. MIDI has no concept of the same note living in more than one place, so it doesn't contain any info about how to play the note on guitar. No system that I have seen does a good job of choosing 'default' fingerings, you always end up having to edit them. Either way, whatever fingering is chosen, becomes part of the metadata of the new file format, but as MIDI doesn't support it, it becomes another rendering details specific to the new format. And, if it was in the MIDI file, then it would be a rendering detail of the MIDI file, instead of the new format being used.

Why am I wrong, just because I say that coverting MIDI to TAB would not be entirely a rendering detail ? I was just pointing out that there are different rendering possibilities and that it is not as simple as that.

I was talking about that algorithm.

OK, there is one other bit of work involved, as the new format contains more information. I apologise, you are correct.
However, the only way to do this is to simply make sure that the note positions selected are physically playable. There's no way to write an algorithm that generates correct fingering, the info simply isn't there. I can tell by looking at a riff in tab that it's wrong, but no algorithm will replace an experienced guitarist looking at a pattern and 'knowing' it's wrong.

It doesn't exist. Best you can do is try to keep the notes within a position until it's impossible, then shift positions. You may then recurse to see which solution requires the least position shifts, but that doesn't mean it will be correct. You could add stuff for ever, and still not get it perfect, it's probably a waste of time expecting to get perfect results, you never will.

Wouldn't that "algo" be to ge the note, and also surrounding notes to find out the relative finger position to determine the overall finger/hand position.

I have a C# user control that I want to use in a VB 6.0 project.
The problem is :
When you open an instance of a Microsoft Windows Form from a COM client application, such as a Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 application or a Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) application, the .NET Windows Form may behave unexpectedly. For example, when you press TAB, the focus does not change from one control to another control. Or when you press ENTER while a command button has focus, the button's Click event does not fire. You may also experience unexpected behavior for keystrokes or for mouse activity.
These symptoms occur because the earlier application does not implement the message loop support that a .NET Framework Windows Form must have to work correctly. ( better described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839076/ )
At this link they provide a solution for a Windows Form. I'm interested in a solution for a user control.
I think the problem resumes to : How do I create a message loop for a user control in C#?
Need help, please!

This is my code:
#region Using directives
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
#endregion
namespace Enumerable
{
public class ListBoxTest : IEnumerable<string>
{
private string[] strings;
private int ctr = 0;
// Enumerable classes can return an enumerator
public IEnumerator<string> GetEnumerator( )
{
foreach ( string s in strings )
{
yield return s;
}
}
// initialize the list box with strings
public ListBoxTest( params string[] initialStrings )
{
// allocate space for the strings
strings = new String[8];
// copy the strings passed in to the constructor
foreach ( string s in initialStrings )
{
strings[ctr++] = s;
}
}
// add a single string to the end of the list box
public void Add( string theString )
{
strings[ctr] = theString;
ctr++;
}
// allow array-like access
public string this[int index]
{
get
{
if ( index < 0 || index >= strings.Length )
{
// handle bad index
}
return strings[index];
}
set
{
strings[index] = value;
}
}
// publish how many strings you hold
public int GetNumEntries( )
{
return ctr;
}
}
public class Tester
{
static void Main( )
{
// create a new list box and initialize
ListBoxTest lbt =
new ListBoxTest( "Hello", "World" );
// add a few strings
lbt.Add( "Who" );
lbt.Add( "Is" );
lbt.Add( "John" );
lbt.Add( "Galt" );
// test the access
string subst = "Universe";
lbt[1] = subst;
// access all the strings
foreach ( string s in lbt )
{
Console.WriteLine( "Value: {0}", s );
}
}
}
}
When I compile this code in the VS2005,the error ocurrs as following:
Error 1 'Enumerable.ListBoxTest' does not implement interface member 'System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()'. 'Enumerable.ListBoxTest.GetEnumerator()' is either static, not public, or has the wrong return type. E:\李良\WorkSpace\Test\Test\Program.cs 11 18 Test
I have implemented the GetEnumerator();what's wrong with this? Thank you!

GetEnumerator() needs to return an object that implements IEnumerator[^]. You're returning a string.

Hi everyone.
I am facing problem using splitter. I have many panels in my form and 2 splitters. One is horizontal and other is vertical.
Vertical panel drags texts box and buttons out from the form location.
Horizontal panel doesn't allow itself to be drag forward from the mid half of the document.
Also If i resize my application text box doesn't move remain visible, crossing lower spliter portion as well.
How can i solve my problem.
thank you.

Add a call to Application.EnableVisualStyles(); at the beginning of your main method.

Thank you. It worked fine but the toolbar not showing images now.
|
|
|
|
|
...and don't forget to call Application.DoEvents() afterwards, or weird things can happen (at least that's the case with .NET 1.1. Does anybody know if this still hold true for .NET 2.0/3.0 ?)

Well.. didn't face this problem in .NET 2.0..

NOw i can see toolbar images. Using Application.DoEvents();
Thank you.

Which framework version are you using?

Hi Guys, I'm developing an application that sends ICMP echo requests (ping) via the .net Ping Class. I've some informations related to the network such as IP addresses,Urls,SiteNames and so stored in a xml file. I need to use theese informations in my ping method. The ping method will ping the sites and change the background color property of some shapes I've created.
In the first version of the application I created an Arraylist of all the Shape Controls an some arrays to store IP Adresses and SiteNames.The arrays was created at runtime just when the application was started.
So the method had just to iterate throw those arrays.
The question is: Do you think is better to read the values from the xml file each time I call the ping method (say once per second) or should I retrieve the values from the file and store them in a Array or Arraylist or whatever? Which of the two is the better performing way? I guess if I create Arrays I'll use much more memory but if have to read through the xml structure each time this would be processor consuming. Is that right?

Yes.
Given that RAM is cheaper than disk access, you're better off storing the data in memory and writing any changes to the XML (assuming you want to persist the list across application runs) file.

Hi,
I am getting following error while opening windows form in solution
"Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information..."
I Rebuilt the solution and all references are also fine. But still i am getting the error and could not able to open the form in design view.
I saw an article saying hotfix is available for this problem at MS site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912019/en-us), but the page is not available.
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
