A program for converting Ascii tabulature (for guitar, bass guitar and drums) to MIDI files.
I can see at least 5 different (classes of)music applications:
There's this piece of music notated in tablature that you've seen in the news and you want to see how it sounds. You usually have to modify very ittle of the original file (if it was precise enough) to do that.
Play along with chord changes or a rythm section: just program the chord change / a simple drum sequence / a simple bass line and improvise.
Practise a lick: program the lick, loop it in the sequencer, start at slow tempo and speed up slowly.
Compose a song: you can, with a certain amount of work, obtain a very crude demo of a song that you can show to your friends before rehearshing.
Convert tablature to standard notation using this program plus a commercial notation program, or this 'mid2tex' program that's supposed to hang around somewhere.
