    Midi manipulation

    Hi everyone, I'm searching for "something" which allows me to write
    scripts which handle midi files. I'm totally a newbie in audio
    manipulation, therefore any suggestion or link related to this field
    is welcome. Thanks in advance.

          Google is much faster than this newsgroup. Search for "python midi
          library" and the first page gives you a number of good hits.

          However, there's a lot to manipulating MIDI. What kinds of things are you
          hoping to accomplish? MIDI, for example, is not a particularly good way to
          store music for composition.

              I'm writing a script for didactic musical purpose. As first step I
              need something as simple as possible, for example a library of
              functions which are able to play a certain note, with a given
              instrument and a given length. I thought midi was good for this aim,
              am I wrong?

                  Oh dear, I'm going to point you away from Python ... but I am not
                  intending to start a flame war...

                  The Apache Cocoon project (NOT the latest version 2.2 though) might
                  appeal to you:

                  quote:
                  The MIDI block currently gives you an XMidiGenerator to generate an XML
                  representation of any MIDI file (called XMidi by its author Peter Loeb).
                  There is also the XMidiSerializer to render XMidi back as a MIDI file. I
                  have used XSLT to provide some basic musical manipulations such as
                  transposition, and inversion. Retrograde is harder, but I shall see what
                  I can come up with. Hopefully I shall also add some transformers to
                  generate SVG visualisations of the XMidi, starting with normal western
                  musical notation.

                          No, you are correct. I was misled by your talk about "manipulati ng MIDI
                          files". What you're talking about is more working with live MIDI. Alia's
                          links should be very useful for you. Especially, I think, this one:
