Re: [Denemo-devel] Melodic Dictation

Sorry this default email app only allows top posting.
I like the idea of extracting from denemo and midi or other files. It would 
take me a great deal of effort to create these dictation files. Thats why I 
thought maybe I would implement a computer generated midi. The pedagogy would 
follow a pattern something like this.
Level 1 = so,me quarter notes/rests
Level 2 = so,me quarter and eigth notes/quarter rests
Level 3 = so,me,la "

I have a growing database of songs that conform to these progressive levels.
