P

*ProteanThread*

since MP3's have supplanted MIDI's there is not much choice out there,
are there any freeweare midi creation tools left (such as IBM's Music
Sketcher which I've been unable to locate).

MIDI is a bunch of instructions for a musician, like sheet music is a
bunch of instructions for a musician.

Midi is about notes, which can be rendered into music, into mp3 format
for example.
Program: Midget

Midget is not a good program for working with midi files, it does not
have the classical views a normal midi sequenser has, like sheet music,
piano roll, event list, etc.. Midget is a strange program with
basically only one type of display, tone values for the notes, etc..

Anvil is a much better answer, as it is a standard midi sequenser.

which one would be good to create midi loops ?

I don't know enough about either of them to answer that question, you
have to try it out for yourself.

I have some old *.mid music files. Do you know of a small W98/ME player for them?
I used ChimeTray Play, but for some reason it does not play midi files in windows ME.

I don't want to d/l it again to check, but I think the Anvil staff notation
was very limited. The screenshot shows a piano score, and I think that s
the maximum (2 staves) that it will do.

I need more than that for choral work - if Anvil has been improved I hope
someone will let us know
