That’s amazing - you must have a tremendous amount of patience! :smile:

Actually it only took about 45-60 mins to do. I had a midi file which was loaded into MuseScore2 . I had to edit one part, then produced individual part files and exported then as musicXML files. I used a processing script referred to here which then produces data in Sonic Pi format. I then worked on adjusting the pan values and amp settings of the individual parts and groups of parts.

Oh, that’s a really interesting approach: Midi -> musicXML -> Sonic Pi code :+1:

Thanks for this! I’m having fun playing with use_tuning :slight_smile:

I’d actually wondered about exporting from MuseScore/MusicXML so that’s really fantastic too.
