20 This was originally written back in in 2003 for Qt 2.3. I've recently
21 updated it to work with modern Linux.
27 If you are using Windows 95 or later, you need a MIDI device set up.
28 If running `VirtualTones.exe` does not work, go to
29 Start->Control Panel->Multimedia and select a synthesiser.
32 If you are using Linux, make sure you have a sequencer set up.
33 Timidity++ is a good one, start it up in ALSA client mode:
36 timidity -iA -Os -c /etc/timidity++/timidity-freepats.cfg
52 * 'Clean' the MIDI files so that notes are saved as with the exact
53 lengths of crotchets, quavers, etc. This means opening the file in a
54 notation editor, such as Finale or Rosegarden would give better
61 * It is impossible to push certain combinations of keys.
62 (A problem with the OS, or keyboard hardware?)
64 * Contrabass interface is a bit weird, but works mostly ok
66 * Sizes of pixmaps is off
