Difficulty Getting PrettyMidi to Run #1

Open Magenta-6 opened 3 months ago

Magenta-6 commented 3 months ago

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to run the program. I prefer to use the GUI, rather than the command line as I'm not python literate.

The readme files says

  1. Drag and drop MIDI files onto the midi_analyzer.py file to analyze them. Not quite sure how to do this.

Is there a .bat file I need to get this to run? Not sure whether I need to activate a virtual environment first.

Kind regards

PS - In cmd I ran > pip install pretty_midi which installed pretty_midi into my root directory. When I inspected the folder it didn't have the required .py files so . . . Then in a drive I use for music I ran cmd again >git clone https://github.com/DrayfieldR/MidiAnalyzer.git

Hi there,

To use the drag-and-drop feature, drag your MIDI file directly onto the midi_analyzer.py file in your file explorer.

The script will automatically run and analyze the file, and the processed results will appear in the analyzed folder.—no need for a .bat file or a virtual environment.

I may add a full GUI in the future to make it even easier to use.

Let me know if that works. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for posting the screenshot.
That's pretty much what I was trying to do too, however when I try to drag the midi file over the midi_analyzer.py I don't get the option to open it. Is there a way to do this in the command line?

If the drag-and-drop isn’t working, you can run the script via the command line:

Open the command prompt. Navigate to the directory where midi_analyzer.py is located. Run the following command:

python midi_analyzer.py C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\MyMIDIFile.mid

Replace C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\MyMIDIFile.mid with the path to your actual MIDI file.

Let me know if this works for you!
