I, for one, welcome our new copywriting overlords.
That said, I like the idea of a specialist who has wrought many copies. Maybe we need a word for someone who, for example, rips lots of CDs: him we could rightly call a "copywright."
I shouldn't have implied that you aren't a musician, but I think you are missing an important point. There is no musically reliable way to convert MIDI data into staff notation. Things that are missing include, but are not limited to: proper dynamic notation, ties and slurs, and expressive tempo markings (e.g., moderato cantabile). If you think you can automate a tool to get "cantabile" or "con fuoco" out of MIDI data, more power to you. I remain skeptical.
First of all, the binary formats do do the job. Look where MIDI for example is typically used. MIDI in the music world is generally two (or more) devices communicating to each other.
So MusicXML really doesn't satisfy a need.
It would be more accurate to say that, not being a musician, you don't have any needs that are satisfied by MusicXML. Read a few posts by musicians in this thread to see what all the fuss about musical notation is.
No question about the backticks. I just wondered how this was supposed to scan as 5-7-5. I'm curious as to whether you pronounce the word "file" (or $FILE) as two syllables.
As the law demands, I did make an error, but in punctuation, not grammar. Granted, the legitimacy of "the reason is because" is disputed, but only by capitulationist descriptivists.:-)
Do you think the reason that cars are broken into more often than armored trucks is solely because there are more cars around?
Grammar flame: you should write, "the reason (that) x is that y" not "because y" If it were only one "reason..." phrase, you wouldn't write, "the reason because I did that," now, would you?
I'm fond of saying that the only thing more difficult than imagining a beginning or ending of time is imagining time with no beginning or ending. I think the same can be said of space and hence the universe itself.
That's not science, that's religion. These are classic arguments ad hominem, and (negative) appeals to authority.
That's not logic, that's the fallacy of Named Fallacies.
If it is true that something now considered true was once considered crazy, that amounts to saying that some things that are considered crazy are true (or at least candidates for being considered true). So, in the present, if something is considered crazy, there is a chance that it is true, since the set of true things contains some things considered crazy. Q.E.D.

It's called a "honey pot," as any reader of LeCarre knows.
No. The Natural Guard.

Anyone else read the story title as "Surveillance Cameras in Brain Not Effective?" I wouldn't have thought they would be....
No, a Canadian operative bought them from America; the U.S. had no embargo against Canada.

"file" has two syllables? Not in my dialect.
One more reason not to use strcpy().
That's why we need a constitutional amendment banning flag-unwrapping.
...most strenuously, my good sir or madam.

Here's a brief note on this construction.
Grammar flame: you should write, "the reason (that) x is that y" not "because y" If it were only one "reason ..." phrase, you wouldn't write, "the reason because I did that," now, would you?
Sticking pins in them! Some people say it's wrong, but that's what makes it fun!!!
...or, give me cake.
not if it's an event loop....
So was Kant. Read the "Antinomy of Pure Reason," especially the first and second antinomy.

If you want a hip, urban jogging accessory that simply screams "Mug me, please!" then the iPod mini is for you!
"Tomatoes."
Man, that code is seriously built!
Perhaps IHBT, but there's always NetBSD. :)
I feel a great disturbance in the force. It is as if a thousand TCP connections timed out and then were dropped.
