Hi Joe, nice to hear from you from earlier discussion.
Would it be applicable to mark one chorus by hand, and the program
finds all the others?
We've got a need to generate short "samples" of songs that are in MIDI
format, to provide a preview function in a web app. We'd like to do
something more clever than just taking the middle 20 seconds (or
whatever) of the song -- ideally, we'd like to find the chorus, since
that's likely to be the most easily recognized part of the song.

I believe this could be done fairly reliably by looking for patterns
in the MIDI file, though I'm sure there are plenty of complications to
this simple idea.
