Well, here are some examples for the beginning of the first channel from CT songs:
Quote
t84%v20%b70%f0%x100%e1@0x25v120p64o6
t90%v10%b40%f0%x100%e1@0x20v80p64o5
An example of the beginning of a later channel:
%x100%e1@0x20v80p64o5

Edit-
By the way, if you include the %b and %f and try to import it into FF6, you'll probably get that glitchy noise at the beginning like with guitar2.

Do you have a perfectly working imported MIDI -> MML?  If so I'd like to dissect it so I can see how its done by example.  I'm finding the program a bit too hard to use since I don't know Japanese.  And when I try and convert and import a simple 4 channel 20 second MIDI it still won't work.

Earlier, I provided guitar2.txt, which I used to import The Other Side of the Mountain into RS3.
I've also attached a partial list of MML commands and the hex number for the equivalents S-SPC command to the first post.

This is fucking pissing me off now.  NO DAMNED MIDI FILES WILL IMPORT FOR ME.  Yes YOURS imported just fine but some vital information is lacking somewhere.  So please assist those of us who don't get this working by answering a few direct questions.

Forget anything posted or submitted in this thread up until this point.  I'm starting new from this post.

Where did you get your MIDI file -- and or what program was used to compose it?
Are there any limitations on what sort of MIDI file that can be imported (channels, pans, etc)?
Can you upload the actual MIDI you converted please?
What program are you using to convert this MIDI file to an MML?  Because there are three converters and none of them seem to be able to work correctly with this program.

I only ask these because my patience is depleted and others are most likely having the same issues as me.  I don't have the drive to sit here for years trying to figure this out. 

Here is yet another example of a failure. 

ff2elder.mid = original midi
ff2elder.mid.mml = unedited conversion using tinymm
ff2elder1.mml = edited using your "guide"

The MIDI came from FF7PC.  I don't know about limitations, except that obviously you can't have more than 8 channels.
I used tinyMM to convert it.
In what sense was your import a failure?

The song doesn't play.  I've been able to at least not corrupt a ROM, but it still just doesn't want to play.

When I tried importing it into RS3, it played, though it was glitchy.

What I did:
1. Open the MML and the SMC (In my case, an expanded one)
2. I set song # to 38 (Katrina's Theme) and the offset to 520000.
3. I clicked the import button.

Nevermind.

Here's the song imported to FF6 instead.  The original MIDI wasn't that good of quality but you can get the idea.

Here's a much more recent attempt to convert ff2elder.mid. This time, I had the midi tracks on different channels.
