Hi all

I need a cross-platform (linux, win) library for reading lyrics of a midi
file.
I have tried portmidi, rtmidi, libjdkmidi, sdl_mixer, allegro, FMOD with
no success (T_T)

I have to parse a midi file to obtain MetaEvents (which contain Lyrics).

A source code example is really appreciated


Thanks

What's the problem? To find a library that is portable
across the platforms of interest? Or to find code that
extracts the lyrics from the data?

I need a code or a library that extracts lyrics and time from a midi
file.

like this

Ms Text
10221 We
11434 Will
13001 Rock
...

or a library that can play midi files and send me lyrics events

FMOD have a bug, so I cannot use it
http://www.fmod.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=44382#44382

Meanwhile I have tried this http://freshmeat.net/projects/midilib/
but it returns incorrect event times


Thanks

I don't know the midi format, so I don't understand what
is in there and what is not.

If an already existing transcript of the lyrics is somehow
encoded in the midi file, then this is a fairly simple
problem - just a matter of finding a description of the midi
file format and code up whatever is needed to extract the
transcript.

However, if you mean that you somehow want to use the midi
file as a sound decription and then have an 'artifical ear'
that interpret the sound, detect and extract the human voice
and then, at the end, produce a transcript of the lyrics,
then don't hold your breath.

To do that, one would need to replicate the workings of the
human auditory system in minute detail, which at present
is very, very far away from being even remotely feasible.
