Current Issues
-
Running State not correctly parsed
Running state in MIDI files isn't currently being picked up correctly. It will work for some of the time, but some transition isn't being detected.
-
Output SVG paging does not match sketch paging
Going through pages of the sketch suggests there are more than there actually are. Likely something to do with the limits of the page between the SVG and what is drawn in the sketch.
-
Page Overlap
There is currently an overlap in pages of around
5cm. this is actually handy for splicing pages together.
