How about perl? I'm pretty handy with it, and it wouldn't be significantly
more difficult to make it a web-based tool than a standalone command-line app.
Also I know (used to know) some about music, back in my wild guitar-playing
youth...
I already had it in my mind to write a perl program that would convert a
MIDI file to Manuel's 2-voice sound driver data format, this project could
sort of get rolled into that one.
I should warn you, I've got a lot of other stuff going on (still working on
my silly spaceship game, and trying to build carts with limited soldering
skills, and working on a standard macro library to complement vcs.h), so it
may take a while to get this done, or even to get a demo site up (especially
now that my #@$#^$%& cable ISP decided to filter my port 80).
Still, I'm interested in doing it, if you want to send my a CSV-exported or
SQL dump format file of your database (no proprietary MS Access format, though,
I don't pay the microsoft tax... whatever you send me, I'll first have to get
into PostgreSQL or maybe MySQL)
