/play — Load & Explore MIDI Files

Use the Mozart Pi tools to load, inspect, and navigate MIDI files.

Quick Start

/play song.mid

Workflow

1. Load the file with mozart_load_midi — provide the path and an optional alias
2. Inspect with mozart_midi_info — see tracks, instruments, tempo, time signature
3. Browse measures with mozart_get_measures — view notes by measure number
4. Search with mozart_search_notes — find notes by pitch, track, or range

Examples

Load and summarize

mozart_load_midi file_path="song.mid" alias="song"
mozart_midi_info alias="song"

Show measures 1-8 of track 0

mozart_get_measures alias="song" start_measure=1 end_measure=8 track=0

Find all C notes in the melody

mozart_search_notes alias="song" note_name="C" track=0

Show measures around a key change

mozart_get_measures alias="song" start_measure=33 end_measure=36

Tool Reference

Tool	Purpose
mozart_load_midi	Parse a .mid file and load it into memory
mozart_midi_info	Show tempo, time sig, tracks, instruments, pitch ranges
mozart_get_measures	Get notes organized by measure (tempo/time-sig aware)
mozart_search_notes	Search notes by pitch, name, track, or measure range
mozart_list_loaded	Show all loaded MIDI files
mozart_unload_midi	Remove a file from memory

Tips

• Use short aliases (e.g. "song", "bass") to make commands readable
• Browse a few measures at a time — large ranges produce a lot of output
• Use mozart_search_notes to find specific patterns before editing
• Track indices are 0-based — check mozart_midi_info to see what's on each track
