Hi @uriel I have used a processing script extensively for the conversion. It has some limitations and short comings, but it is possible to work around these, and it has saved me a lot of time. see this link, (which contains a link to my article about this) which also contains an alternative script (also with some limitations) which I have also used.

> Introduction This is a subject that has been [tackled before by Robin Newman](https://rbnrpi.wordpress.com/project-list/converting-musicxml-or-midi-files-for-sonic-pi/). This is my own, initial, take on it. I’ve written a ruby script that takes a midi file, then outputs a ruby file that is usable by sonic pi. Why I’m doing this: Just for the fun of it To get a better understanding of the process by doing it myself Having a ruby script for this could be cool for the community since our ruby knowledge will allow us to hack it more easily [Here’s part of an Ed Sheeran cover I made usin…](https://soundcloud.com/user-624063218/ed-sheeran-sonic-pi-cover/s-BhGtNxsntWU)

I generally work with MuscScore 3 load midi files in there, edit them as necessary to produce individual parts which I then export and convert to DP format. The more you do the easier and quicker it becomes!

I publish the majority of these with the code on soundcloud. I have several sites there. Search soundcloud using `https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=xxx` substituting  
rbnman, scrbn, scrbnmac, sc3rbnman, rbnsonicpi in turn for the xxx
