To be clear: that was the point. Typeset music notation has struggled to keep up with the physical expression of music[1] for hundreds and hundreds of years. There's nothing new about this problem, and it has nothing to do with MIDI.
[1] And MIDI is just another such expression in this context. MIDI is absolutely not an attempt to reproduce typeset music, it's designed to capture electronic instrument behavior.
- ilyt 4y agoBoth typeset music and MIDI is trying to translate expression of the artist into a protocol/notation so I don't think it's unfair to compare the two
