The sources compile well and the programme works likewise. However, the
programme leaves the notes in the score in MIDI Numbers, which would be
fine, if only I knew what pitch converter to use: the *midi opcodes seem
to expect midi events, not p-fields, so I'm not sure where to go from
here. Anybody knows of a suitable way to convert MIDI note numbers to
more csound-friendly notations?
Thanks,
