rssChorale Files, Accuracy and Responsibility
Anyone using the Bach midi files should check the accuracy of the parts with a reliable edition of the chorales.
Because many errors have been found in the chorale files at JSBChorales.net, I am embarking on a proofreading mission through all the files. At the same time I will change measure numbers so that pick-up measures are not included in the numbering, as is the standard.
Since I work full time, this complete update will take considerable time. Revised files will be listed on the the update page as they are completed.
Be aware that copies of files on another person's server may not be correct. I can not be responsible for updating files on another person's server, even if my name is attached to them. My name associated with copies on another person's website does not mean that they have been been kept current.
In general people who wish to link to the files have been helpful and cooperative and have linked to my pages so that incorrect files are not proliferated.
Also, be aware that when the midi files are imported into a notation program, accidentals may be enharmonically incorrect. For instance a G sharp may be notated as an A flat.
If possible, please always check files against a reliable edition.
