I don't know if anyone on the list is interested but I've just stumbled across 
a package that does exactly what I want. It's called 'hydrogen' and it is 
specifically for drum tabs which is what I was after. It's a really snazzy 
program. 

I installed timidity a few weeks ago but couldn't get my head around it. From 
the limited amount of googling I did it seems a lot of folk run it in daemon 
mode? I keep thinking of trying to learn a bit about the whole midi thing but 
everytime I dip a toe in the water I end up being thoroughly bewildered. I 
think the main problem is that I'm too lazy to sit down and read the docs.
