? Event List - Export data to spreadsheet

[sadicus]

Is there a way to export or copy / paste the Event List data?

Not directly; you'd have to use OCR software on a screenshot. Or maybe find some other MIDI sequencer that allows it.

What's the goal?

there are some older MIDI editors out there that can take a midi file and allow you to export the events as CSV or some other form. 

this one let's you copy the events: https://breno.sarmen.to/midi/ BRELS MIDI Editor

text output copied from the events window:

Copy the note names and paste them in a a text file or spread sheet.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I'm in the same boat, and needing to export a track of MIDI controller events into a text file of some sort so I can manipulate the formatting. I'm trying to get the data into Stage Traxx 3 on iPad and it has it's own command structure (https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/midi/#send-midi) so if I can start by exporting the data from Sonar's Event List, and then using scripting (or even Excel) to do as much data transformation as possible, I can minimise the amount of manual effort involved.

I've seen a lot of remarks about Printing to PDF etc. but I can't get Sonar (v2024.12) to do anything when I Print, regardless of what sort of print driver (physical printer, Adobe PDF printer, Microsoft OneNote printer). Just nothing happens. I've checked for popup boxes and dialogs that might be behind windows, but nothing.

Best option is probably still to use a 3rd-party app that supports export to text. Or get familiar with CAL scripting.

A CAL script would not be able to do this.  There are no CAL script commands to export data other than to save as a MIDI file.

@sadicusI would export to MIDI, then use GNMIDI to convert the file to ASCII text.

I meant do all the controller manipulation within CW. But if some non-MIDI data need to be added, then CAL can’t help.
