# 20150914   jimbo1qaz   MIDI.py str/bytes bug report
# I found a MIDI file which had Shift-JIS titles. When midi.py decodes it as
# latin-1, it produces a string which cannot even be accessed without raising
# a UnicodeDecodeError.  Maybe, when converting raw byte strings from MIDI,
# you should keep them as bytes, not improperly decode them.  However, this
# would change the API.  (ie: text = a "string" ? of 0 or more bytes).  It
# could break compatiblity, but there's not much else you can do to fix the bug
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_JIS

r'''
This module offers functions:  concatenate_scores(), grep(),
merge_scores(), mix_scores(), midi2opus(), midi2score(), opus2midi(),
opus2score(), play_score(), score2midi(), score2opus(), score2stats(),
score_type(), segment(), timeshift() and to_millisecs(),
where "midi" means the MIDI-file bytes (as can be put in a .mid file,
or piped into aplaymidi), and "opus" and "score" are list-structures
as inspired by Sean Burke's MIDI-Perl CPAN module.

Warning: Version 6.4 is not necessarily backward-compatible with
previous versions, in that text-data is now bytes, not strings.
This reflects the fact that many MIDI files have text data in
encodings other that ISO-8859-1, for example in Shift-JIS.

Download MIDI.py from   http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/free/MIDI.py
and put it in your PYTHONPATH.  MIDI.py depends on Python3.

There is also a call-compatible translation into Lua of this
module: see http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/MIDI.html

The "opus" is a direct translation of the midi-file-events, where
the times are delta-times, in ticks, since the previous event.

The "score" is more human-centric; it uses absolute times, and
combines the separate note_on and note_off events into one "note"
event, with a duration:
 ['note', start_time, duration, channel, note, velocity] # in a "score"

  EVENTS (in an "opus" structure)
     ['note_off', dtime, channel, note, velocity]       # in an "opus"
     ['note_on', dtime, channel, note, velocity]        # in an "opus"
     ['key_after_touch', dtime, channel, note, velocity]
     ['control_change', dtime, channel, controller(0-127), value(0-127)]
     ['patch_change', dtime, channel, patch]

  DATA TYPES
     channel = a value 0 to 15
     controller = 0 to 127 (see http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html#cc )
     dtime = time measured in "ticks", 0 to 268435455
     velocity = a value 0 (soft) to 127 (loud)
     note = a value 0 to 127  (middle-C is 60)
     patch = 0 to 127 (see http://www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html )
     pitch_wheel = a value -8192 to 8191 (0x1FFF)
     raw = bytes, of length 0 or more  (for sysex events see below)
     sequence_number = a value 0 to 65,535 (0xFFFF)
     song_pos = a value 0 to 16,383 (0x3FFF)
     song_number = a value 0 to 127
     tempo = microseconds per crochet (quarter-note), 0 to 16777215
     text = bytes, of length 0 or more
     ticks = the number of ticks per crochet (quarter-note)

   In sysex_f0 events, the raw data must not start with a \xF0 byte,
   since this gets added automatically;
   but it must end with an explicit \xF7 byte!
   In the very unlikely case that you ever need to split sysex data
   into one sysex_f0 followed by one or more sysex_f7s, then only the
   last of those sysex_f7 events must end with the explicit \xF7 byte
   (again, the raw data of individual sysex_f7 events must not start
   with any \xF7 byte, since this gets added automatically).

   Since version 6.4, text data is in bytes, not in a ISO-8859-1 string.

"from_time" (or "shift" is negative), then the intermediate
notes are deleted, though patch-change events are preserved.

If "tracks" are specified, then only those tracks get shifted.
"tracks" can be a list, tuple or set; it gets converted to set
internally.

It is deprecated to specify both "shift" and "start_time".
If this does happen, timeshift() will print a warning to
stderr and ignore the "shift" argument.

If "shift" is negative and sufficiently large that it would
leave some event with a negative tick-value, then the score
is shifted so that the first event occurs at time 0. This
also occurs if "start_time" is negative, and is also the
default if neither "shift" nor "start_time" are specified.
