So far, encoding sheet music into SMF must be done by hand. I can definitely help everyone with that.
SMF will be a string which consists of notes that are separated by a space. A typical SMF note would be G2e.
The first character is the note itself. Notes range from A - C.
The second character is the octave of the note. The octaves range from 0-3.
The third character is the duration of the note where e=eighth, q=quarter, and h=half.
Only notes C0, C1, and C2 are allowed to be half notes. All other notes are either eighth or quarter notes.
An SMF note shall be considered an eighth note if it is appears as an eighth or smaller in the original music. An SMF note will be considered a quarter note if it appears as anything greater than an eighth note in the original piece of music.
Lastly, C0, C1, and C2 are allowed to be half notes if they appear as half notes or greater in the original music.
I hope this clarifies how an SMF is generated.
Here is an example SMF obtained from the first 8 measures of a music piece by Mazas - 75 Melodious and progressive and progressive studies op.36 no.7.
