Well, you can mail me midi files and I can post them the same way that
we are doing things for the manuscripts. I'll send you the URL and you
just include it in the mail you post.
That would be interesting because people can transcribe the midi to
notation using any of the notation programs if they want to see what
you are playing.
However, you can't send me any copyrighted materials. Soloing over chord
changes
is fine.
