    Gooooodddd evening/morning/ afternoon.

    I was wondering. I love classical music. One of my all time favorite pieces is Tartini's-Devil's Trill. Yet as good as it is, I can't find an abc file of it. Would anyone know where it could be? Or maybe someone can make one! That's something I'll get behind immediately!

    Do tell if you've found/made/would make a file of it!

    ABC files can be translated from .Midi files. But the translation doesn't always go well. Often the files have to be cleaned up by hand or written by hand (which can require some musical know-how. It's a pain.

    Starbound Composer does this easily. It has an import Midi function, which will compose midi files in ABC. All you have to do is save the product and move them over.

    Although I suggest you play around with Starbound composer. Most Midi comes with separate music parts, which I like to combine into around 1-2 parts depending on the piece.

    I know how to clean up files slightly, but as stated before from Felonious, it truly is a pain.
