helper scripts for midi files and all their intricacies

midi_check usage

to use the midi_check script you have to be using python2

Here are the steps to run midi_check.py

1. run pip install python-midi
2. identify the path of the data directory (the folder that has all your midi files)
3. run python midi_check.py <data_dir> Note: the output of this program will be 3-4 files that contain paths to their respective midi types (1.txt contains type 1 midi files) . files in error.txt inidicate that there is something wrong with the midi file and these files should be removed using remove_files.py

example usage:

python midi_check.py my_data/

remove_files usage

basically this script removes the files that are listed in a specific file

when you run midi_scripts.py it will generate 3-4 files, the ones we defintely don't want are the files in 2.txt and error.txt (2.txt will commonly be empty). the usage of the command is shown below

python remove_files <directory that has the data directory in it> <file_list>

the directory that has the data directory will almost always be ./ if you run midi_check.py one directory above the data directory.

let me know if you have questions about this

an example usage is shown below

python remove_files ./ error.txt
