Commercial or otherwise - you can get an idea of what can be achieved
with what sort of effort by seeing what others have managed to do when
that has been there sole goal. You wouldn't expect to do more unless you
were going to dedicate serious effort to it. From the rest of your email
I understand that just looking at those examples has encouraged you not
to try for an unrealistic goal in turning human midi into notation. From
bitter experience I know how easy it is to wander off into a swamp where
many others have waded in before. (It's a different matter, of course,
if you have a new approach to the problem).
