<h1><a name="Help">Help</a></h1>
<p>
Below are some commonly asked questions
<p>
<ul>
<li>Where do I find MIDI files?
<p>
MIDI music files are available all over the internet:
<p>
Classical music MIDI files<br>
<a href="http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/">http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com/</a><br>
<a href="http://www.kunstderfuge.com/">http://www.kunstderfuge.com/</a><br>
<p>
Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop/Contemporary MIDI files<br>
<a href="http://www.hamienet.com/">http://www.hamienet.com/</a>
<p>
Video game music MIDI files<br>
<a href="http://www.midishrine.com/">http://www.midishrine.com/</a>
<p>
<li>On Microsoft Windows, I can't hear any music
<p>
This is a bug in MidiSheetMusic-2.5. This is fixed in MidiSheetMusic-2.6.
Make sure that in the menu "Select Tracks to Mute" that no tracks are selected.
<p>
<li>On Linux, I can't hear any music.
<p>
Verify that the Timidity++ music player is working. On the command line run<br>
<code># /usr/bin/timidity sample.mid</code>
<p>
If you don't hear the MIDI music, then your Linux sound is not working.<br>
For troubleshooting Linux sound problems on Ubuntu, see:<br>
<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012">
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012
</a>
<p>
<li>I'm using a different Linux distribution (not Ubuntu). How do I install MidiSheetMusic?
<p>
Unfortunately, you'll need to build MidiSheetMusic from the source. <br>
You can get the source at<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/midisheetmusic/files/midisheetmusic/2.6/ ">
http://sourceforge.net/projects/midisheetmusic/files/midisheetmusic/2.6/</a><br>
Follow the instructions in the README.html file for building from the source.
<p>
<li>How can I submit a bug/question for this product
<p>

<p>
<h1><a name="Build">Building the Source</a></h1>
<p>
The Midi Sheet Music program is open source software, released under
the GNU General Public License version 2.
<p>
<b>Building the source</b>
<p>
To load the MidiSheetMusic project into Visual Studio,
simply select the "Open Project" menu,
and open the MidiSheetMusic.csproj file.
<p>
If you don't have Visual Studio, you can still
build the program from the source by using the
command line csc.exe compiler. To build from the command line, do the following:
<p>
<ul>
<li>Edit the build.bat file in Notepad. <br>
<li>Set the PATH variable to the directory containing the C# compiler (csc.exe).<br>
<li> The directory should have a path similar to<br>
<code>
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>
</code>
<li>Open a command prompt, and run the build.bat script.<br>
<li>The executable bin/Debug/MidiSheetMusic.exe will be created.
</ul>
<p>
<b>Running the Unit Tests</b>
<p>
The Midi Sheet Music source comes with unit tests, in the file
UnitTest.cs. To compile and run the unit tests,
you must first download and install NUnit from http://www.nunit.org/
<p>
Then, open a command prompt and run the script
<code>build_unit_test.bat</code><br>
This will produce a test file bin/Debug/UnitTest.dll. <br>
Run the NUnit GUI executable,
select "Open Project" from the menu, and select the UnitTest.dll.<br>
Once the UnitTest is loaded, simply click on the "Run" button to run the
unit tests.

<h1><a name="Source">Source Code Overview</a></h1>
<p>
A brief description of the source code is given here.
<p>
<img src="docs/WindowDiagram.png" />
<p>
<table border=1 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>SheetMusicWindow.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
The main window that contains the menus, MidiPlayer and SheetMusic.
This class uses the menu items to determine the sheet music and
sound options (<code>GetMidiOptions</code>).
When a menu option is modified, the sheet music is redrawn
(<code>RedrawSheetMusic</code>).
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>MidiFile.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
This class is used to read in and parse a MIDI file. The
constructor takes a filename as argument, and returns a MidiFile
class containing the following:
<ul>
<li>The MIDI tracks (<code>List<MidiTrack></code>)
<li>The MIDI time signature (<code>TimeSignature</code>)
<li>The MIDI events per track (<code>MidiEvent</code>)
<li>The instrument per track (<code>MidiTrack.Instrument</code>)
<li>The notes per track (<code>List<MidiNote></code>)
<li>For each note, the note number, start pulse time, and duration
(<code>MidiNote</code>).
</ul>
The <code>MidiFile</code> class has two methods for applying
the menu options to the MIDI song:
<ul>
<li><code>ChangeMidiNotes</code> modifies the parsed MidiNote data.
<li><code>ChangeSound</code> creates a new MIDI music file for playback, with the new instruments, speed, transpose, etc.
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>SheetMusic.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
This is a graphical Control that displays the actual sheet music.
It takes a parsed <code>MidiFile</code> as argument, as well as the
<code>MidiOptions</code> specified by the menu items. The class
also supports highlighting notes during playback (<code>ShadeNotes</code>).
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>MidiPlayer.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
This is the toolbar at the top containing the controls (play, stop,
speed, volume) for playing the music. It uses the
<code>MidiFile.ChangeSound()</code> method to modify the sound
settings, and create a new MIDI music file for playback.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>Piano.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
The Piano is used to display the notes being played as the MIDI music
is being played. The method <code>ShadeNotes</code> is used to
highlight the appropriate notes.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>Staff.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
The <code>SheetMusic</code> displayed consists of a list of Staffs.
Each Staff instance corresponds to one horizontal staff. Each
Staff contains a list of <code>MusicSymbols</code> to draw (clefs, notes,
accidentals, rests, bars, etc). The actual Music Symbols are
described in the diagram below.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<code>ChordSymbol.cs</code>
</td>
<td>
The main music symbol is the ChordSymbol, which represents a group of notes
that are played at the same time. Chords are the most complicated symbols
to draw because of the many variations in note placement, stem placement, etc.
The Music Symbol Diagram below illustrates several types of chord symbols:
<ul>
<li> Chords with one note (#6, #7, #8).
<li> Chords with multiple notes (#9, #11).
<li> Chords with one stem (#6, #7, #8).
<li> Chords with two stems in different directions (#9, #11)
<li> Notes with different durations (#11).
<li> Notes with accidental (sharp/flat/natural) symbols (#11).
<li> Notes that vertically overlap (#11).
<li> Stems positioned on the left side of notes (#9).
<li> Stems positioned on the right side of notes (#6).
<li> Stems that connect two chords together (#7, #8).
<li> Stems that are only part of one chord (#6).
</ul>
