I improved my front page and it has links to midi files of all of my rags now (56 and counting).

The links are in my deviantART journal at http://hrodulf.deviantart.com/

That's quite a collection you have written there - how long did it take you to write all of those? Did you create the Midi file file by recording yourself and then generate the score from quantized MIDI or did you start with the score and use that to generate the MIDI?

Two of them were written in the 1990s, one was one third written in the 1990s and two thirds written this year, the rest were all written from January 2009 to the present at the rate of about one every three days (although I was on vacation and didn't write for about a week and a half this past week and a half so the numbers have probably changed. Also they need to be edited which I have started to do).

As for the midis, I use noteworthy composer 2 to notate these, and the program allows me to export the rags directly to midi from the computerized score. I have some actual recordings but since I have been spending most of my time writing I find I do not have much time to learn to play them.

I'm amazed that you can keep up that pace of writing, I listened to a few and they are very well crafted compositions. You should work on playing them - the You Tube performances are more interesting than MIDI files. I was impressed by Tom Brier - I have not heard his name before but he did a great job playing New London rag.

It's just something I've been doing with my free time.
