Igor, my pc is telling me that in order to open the files, I have to have an encription code to enter first. So, my question is, if there is a password, what is it, and what program would you recommend I use to open the files? Thanks for putting these up for us though, I'm sure once I get them open, I'll be very pleased. Seems like you put a lot of work into this.

Thanks!

the password is BASS. i used winRAR to open it, and it worked fine.

But the folder names are all in Russian. igor, can you translate the folder names for us? there are only 14.

I downloaded this. All the music is playable but the scores and charts require Encore to read. Also the demo version available on line won't open them and the 'warez' version included doesn't install.

Thanks though. I'll listen to them and which I knew the chord changes

eoreilly · #8 01-17-2008, 02:41 PM

they also come with midi files, which you can open up in the notation program of your choosing.

This is unreal. Some of the Russian is tough to negotiate, but this is a really impressive undertaking. Do you have any clear index, I'm on a mac and can't figure out how to know what's exactly in here. Also, who did the transcriptions? This is really cool.

Thanks for posting!

Be careful here folks. I just tried to download from the links provided above, and I ended up with a malicious adware program installed on my PC. I'm still working on removing it.

i'm interested in this, but afraid of viruses

Slax · #13 01-30-2008, 02:05 PM

Awesome! I can't wait to download this once I get off of work.

Hopefully using Linux, I won't have a problem with any of these viruses...

NOT BASS

Can be opened with finale notepad.. Really this is remarkable

Igor - just want to send a huge THANKS your way for posting this!

For those of you who might be wondering what this is, it's bass line transcriptions (walking, latin, etc.) for over 400 different recordings of various jazz standards. There are multiple versions of some tunes, e.g.:

Caravan by Ray Brown (1975), Rufus Reid (1989), and Jesper Lundgaard (1992).

Each subdirectory contains an mp3 version of the original recording and several different file formats of the transcription, including Encore, Finale and midi format. The Finale files (file extension .FTM, "Finale Template"), can be opened and edited with the free program Finale Notepad 2008 (or a full version of Finale). Of course nearly any music notation program can open the midi files.

There are no viruses or adware in the .rar file archive (which can be extracted with winRAR, a free program). If you are getting adware, it's probably coming from the download web page. You can always run the free program "Adaware" after downloading to remove any adware programs. I used the www.zshare.net site for the downloads. The files are large and do take some time. It took about 10 minutes to download each file as they are about 100 MB each.

Obviously there are legality issues with the mp3s, but the transcriptions seem to be perfectly legal since they are done by the author(s?), and contain no lyrics or melodies.

Cheers,

Jeff

p.s. - here is an example of a page of a transcription of NHOP from All Blues, 1974, displayed in Finale 2006.

Nadav · #17 05-11-2008, 04:47 PM

My extractor says the files are not RAR archives. Anyone else having problems?

jweiss · #18 05-11-2008, 04:55 PM

You need to download ALL the files before you can extract the archive.

I used WinRAR.

(edit - looks like the post that I was responding to with this message was deleted...)

I'm using Finale Notepad 2008 on a PC/Windows:

http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/

When I double-click on one of the files with a ".FTM" extension, Windows opens it with Finale Notepad. It does give a message about the file being created with an older version and that it will be updated, but then it opens it with no problem. I have been saving them as Finale's standard .mus format after opening them.

I don't know much about Macs, but perhaps try:

If you are trying to open the file by double-clicking on it, instead Start Finale Notepad 2008 and open the file from the "File --> Open" menu.

Try changing the file extension to lower case (.ftm instead of .FTM).

I doubt there are any cross-platform differences in Finale Notepad file formats...

If you want, pm me your email address and I can send you one of the .FTM files that has been converted to a .mus file for Finale 2006. Trying a .mus file would determine whether the problem is with Finale reading the .FTM file or something else.

I assume you can import the midi files into Finale Notepad, and playback the midi files? (On Windows, Windows Media Player will play midi files. On the Mac, I assume you would use Quicktime)

Hope that helps - it's worth figuring it out!

Cheers,

Jeff
