If you don't mind paying for a virtual machine look at Run 32-bit apps on Catalina with Parallels Desktop® Apple fined for slowing down old iPhones See the link under this video to download VirtualBox High Sierra VMDK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhbMyn9iI98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b6yaKVOwzA _________________________ Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool

Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954 Pipeline Veteran Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954	Sorry, I remember now I could not download that either from https://sixthhappiness.github.io/articles/myjazzband-2-lite/index.html There is one here https://macdownload.informer.com/myjazzband/ Andrew is very helpful you can contact him sixthhappiness(at)gmail.com I told him about the dead links for the chart translator and he fixed them. MyJazzBand is a MIDI jazz accompaniment generation application that incorporates intelligent jazz chord and scale analysis, a modern native Mac OS X Cocoa user interface, Band-in-a-Box file format compatibility, and much more. MyJazzBand can import chord sequences from Band-in-a-Box files. This lets you use BIAB files you already have and the large number of BIAB "real-books" you can download from the Internet.

Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954 Pipeline Veteran Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954	Thanks for putting me back onto that ! the download links are fixed now https://sixthhappiness.github.io/articles/myjazzband-2-lite/index.html I can add that to Reaper to generate up jazz tracks from user input chords. I tried it on Win10 worked fine, not working on 10.9 or 10.14 (suppose to work on Tiger 10.4), I think you have 10.9 I sent Andrew the error and ask if it's an easy fix or a major issue. Let's hope it's a simple fix ! It works like the chart translator just drag the SGU MGU or text file on mjb2lite.exe/app and it will create a jazz midi file. I uploaded (below) some midi samples converted from some SGUs dragged onto mjb2lite.exe there's also Blues #40 from the text info below and the apps that I will update if the Mac version is fixed. Quote: MYJAZZBAND 2 LITE MyJazzBand 2 Lite (MJB2Lite) is a complete rewrite of my shareware program MyJazzBand. MyJazzBand, now discontinued, was a MIDI application for generating jazz accompaniments. MJB2Lite has been written as a prototype for testing composition algorithms that will be used in MyJazzBand 2, a shareware program that I hope to build and release in the future. Information about and downloads for MJB2Lite can be found at my website: http://www.sixthhappiness.ca/index.html Please ask questions about and discuss the MJB2Lite program on the bulletin board at that website, MJB2Lite is an on-going project and will be updated from time to time. I am also hoping that the release of MJB2Lite will serve as "advertisement" for my website and my future shareware. For these and other reasons, please do not redistribute MJB2Lite. The software license I have chosen for it prohibits you from doing so. I will greatly appreciate it if you provide a link to my website instead. FILE FORMAT MJB2Lite reads chord charts in its "native" format: text files with extensions ".mjb" or ".toe". Here is an example of the contents of such a file: Name: Blues #40 Meter: 4/4 Style: Swing Key: F Tempo: 132 Chorus: bars 1 to 12 (repeat 3 times) Sections: 1A \| FMaj7 \| Em7b5 A7 \| Dm7 G7 \| Cm7 F7 \| \| BbMaj7 \| Bbm7 \| Am7 \| Abm7 Db7 \| \| Gm7 \| C7 \| FMaj7 D7 \| Gm7 C7 \| \| FMaj7 \| You can input your own chord charts using a text editor and save the file in "plain text" format with an extension of ".mjb" or ".toe". MJB2Lite can also read chord charts in files written by the Band-in-a-Box program. Numerous files in this format can be found on the Web. Look for them with Google, for example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=en&q=band-in-a-box+files+jazz&btnG=Search BIAB format files have extensions ".sg?" or ".mg?", where ? is a digit or letter. Currently MJB2Lite can only generate accompaniment for a chart in 4/4 time in a "swing" style. The style works well only in medium tempo. USAGE On Mac OS X, the downloaded and unzipped folder MJB2Bite should contain the application MJB2Lite. Drag and drop one or more input files in the MJB2Lite "native" or BIAB format (e.g., the included sample input file "Blues #40.mjb") onto this application icon. The generated MIDI accompaniment file will have the same name as input file, but with the ".mid" extension added to the end. The MJBLite window will stay open so you can read the error messages if there are any. To quit MJB2Lite, choose "quit" from its menu. The generated MIDI files can be played in the Finder or QuickTime Player, or imported into any MIDI sequencer. On Windows (tested only on Windows XP), the downloaded and unzipped folder "dist" should contain the program "mjb2lite.exe". Drag and drop one or more input files onto this program icon. Alternatively, you can invoke this program from the command line: mjb2lite <inputfile> ... The generated MIDI file can be played in Windows Media Player (double-click on the MIDI file), or whichever program you have set up to handle MIDI files in Windows. On other systems (such as Linux and BSD), make sure you have Python 2.5 installed. The downloaded, gunzipped, and untarred directory "dist" should contain the file mjb2lite.py. In a shell, type: python mjb2lite.py <inputfile> ... Alternatively make mjb2lite.py executable using "chmod". Then type: ./mjb2lite.py <inputfile> ... If you have questions, please ask them on the bulletin board. Enjoy the MJB2Lite program!

Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954 Pipeline Veteran Registered: 02/05/15 Posts: 7954	The error is because 10.4 used an older version of python. I tried a lot of workarounds but haven't got it to work natively. However I did get it to work with Wine, so if you have Wine installed: in the terminal type Code: wine cmd then change directory to the unzipped windows version, type Code: cd Downloads\mjb2lite-win-dist then with the .SGU or .mjb file in the same folder, type Code: mjb2lite.exe "my song.SGU" it will the create the midi file my song.SGU.mid if you don't get the Windows command prompt with Code: wine cmd then in the terminal type Code: sudo ln -s /Applications/Wine\ Stable.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/wine sudo ln -s /Applications/Wine\ Stable.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/winecfg /usr/local/bin/winecfg sudo ln -s /Applications/Wine\ Stable.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/msiexec /usr/local/bin/msiexec If you installed 64-bit wine also: Code: sudo ln -s /Applications/Wine\ Stable.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin/wine64 /usr/local/bin/wine64 Attachments Post attachments only available when logged in _________________________ Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool

Is this the error you're now referring to?

If you open terminal and type python --version you should get 2.7.5 on 10.9 but Tiger was using 2.3.5 The easiest solution is install Wine and they will all work using the Win version of the apps. _________________________ Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool
