Hi All,

Please share any changes and improvements that you make to these files by posting your updated files to this list.

I have been playing about with MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment) and ABC to create some copyright free music that can be distributed with PB and the results I think are very impressive. Try playing this midi file on Piano Booster.

greensleeves.mid

This file was created just using ABC notation and MMA.

Here is an example of  ABC notation

X:1
T:Frere Jacques/Brother John
M:4/4
L:1/4
K:Cmaj
|: CDEC | CEDC | EFG2 | EFG2 |
G/2A/2G/2F/2 EC | G/2A/2G/2F/2 EC | CG C2 | CG C2 :|

Produces this score:



Here is the score for "greensleeves.mid":


And here is the matching midi file produced using MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment)

greensleeves.mid

If you want to play about with ABC notation and MMA (Musical MIDI Accompaniment)
download the examples;

Here PianoBoosterMusic.zip 

To create the accompaniment have look at PianoBoosterMusic.abc and greensleeves.mma you basically have to choose the groove then just enter the chords for the music. Hopefully we can build up some copyright free music that can be distributed with PianoBooster.
