Hi Arthur & Timothy, > You've brought up a good question. Sounds like you may do "Early Music", > too.
Thanks! Although I have to admit, that my music only goes as early as the Swing Era - Big Bands usually are tuned to 442 as it fits the brass better. I'm merely looking for a way to avoid tuning my double bass if I want to use midi-practice-files. > Midi, itself, is tuned in 440 and equal.

I was sort of amazed - Midi being such a simple (so I imagined) format, I thought that the calibration to 440 should be a mere variable, easy to be adjusted. There's always more to it than it seems ...

That's an excellent idea, actually, thank you! Ultimately, I will need the music as mp3 anyway, for my stereo to play it. I didn't know Audacity could import Midi - I'll try that out asap (i.e. next week, sigh). Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions!
