Volume control: This has to wait until I can move away from the default JAVA Gervill synthesizer. I'm working on using a different one that will integrate with the 3D sound system used my Minecraft. At this time only the operating systems volume control will do anything. As a work around I may be able to scale the volume settings when MML is converted to MIDI.
I was able to make a FAKE volume control. It works by scaling the note velocity values when the MIDI sequence is generated from MML. This change is reflected in the latest release.
Not yet. There is some underlying work that needs to be done to support that. Some fixes are easy, but this is pretty much a feature that can have other ramifications in how some of the code works.
Perfect Ideas, But also is there a way to add a volume control for say players who do not want to listen to 100% sound music. I have a few players who find it annoying at max volume but do like having the music.
Also a bug found by Thutmose, If music is playing and you log out it will continue to play even on the Single/Multiplayer screen. Even is a new world.

Music Playing after log out: Thanks for the heads up.
I do some clean up on the server side when a player logs out, but this won't stop a song on the client.
if the player is a listener I'll need to check if there are any playing mxTune music threads and kill them. This is an issue that I'll need to research more. I found a workable solution using WorldEvent.Unload. I've coded a first pass.
I've recently had a request to add the ability to mute sounds from the mod.
I've thought of 3 options that might be useful. Let me know what you think or have any changes or additions.
These would be per-player options stored as part of the players profile.
Mute Others
Hear yourself and others if you are in JAM session with them
Mute Blacklist
Add players on an ad-hoc basis to a blacklist. You won't hear them, or a JAM if that person is the leader of the JAM.
The black list would consist of the blocked players UUID and last know name string.
Mute All
You won't hear any music from players and you can't play music. You can create sheet music.
I plan on adding a musical utility block with red-stone activation or living entity proximity activation. I believe a separate mute option for those blocks should be an option. However Since it's a tile entity I can save additional information such as owner. So using a blacklist for the owners placed mxTune blocks may be useful or perhaps just overkill.
Thanks for taking the time to look at the mod and make a video. It's interesting to see someone else's view of the mod. I'll add it to the videos section this weekend.
I have not tried running it with optifine, but it looks like the TESR for the bench and music rack on the piano are not causing issues.
Just a quick update. I'm making a change to ItemMusicPaper. Currently this single item can be music paper OR sheet music depending on an internal property. It's very much like a vanilla bow. It uses the same internal features to switch models. The problem with that is that when in sheet music form, it can still be stacked to 16 pieces as long as the name is the same. And there lies a problem since you could overwrite a tune with the same name. This also makes inventory operations and slot mechanics somewhat difficult. Ideally I want a single item stack in instrument inventory.
To solve this issue I'm creating a ItemSheetMusic item with a max stack size of one. I can convert the old sheet music to the new sheet music pretty easily. Expect that in the next update.
Old style sheet music will get red border and note symbol. The new item sheet music will use the current green note. Both will still work in instruments. I'll include an item to convert any existing sheet music items to the new sheet music items.
Well, what about a visualizer that shows what notes are being played?
I'd love that.
A visualizer in terms of test playing, some sort of ingame rendering as a tune is played?
Your YouTube channel is interesting. I've seen Piano From Above used before in videos, but never knew about BlackMIDI. That "MIDI Synth: Keppy's Driver 3.1.3.3" must be quite a piece of work to allow so many simultaneous voices.
mxTune supports 10,000 characters per music sheet. You "can" have more than 3 voices simply by adding more comma's. That is MML@aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff; There is a hard cutoff after 24.
Black MIDI would definitely eat all resources in Minecraft and your PC if I tried to support it. It would be a total disaster in multiplayer.
Updated the MML input dialog. Now parses MML and displays the errors in a list. Clicking on an error moves the cursor to the error in the editor. This is intended as a very simple editor to fix simple problems. As an added feature the the MML can be test played in the dialog. Only the player using the dialog will hear the music.
A demo video of the new dialog has been added to the main post.
I have multiple programs to play live MIDI and visualize it, but I've never seen it in Minecraft before.
I wish you good luck in case it's going to be hard ^^
I'm considering a midi-jack item, that like sheet music, can be placed in the instrument inventory allowing midi-in from your PC. It might work well for local play, but maintaining timings via a multi-player server might be a bit network intensive, but maybe a UDP stream could work. What are your thoughts?
I can add the idea to the wish list. It's a fun idea, but poses some real challenges too. I believe there are existing programs that support live MIDI jamming over the Internet. Thanks for your input and the comment.

I fixed the bug that Thutmose found. The music will stop playing when the player disconnects.

New development release. Change the Music Paper item, and add a Sheet Music item and a simple tool to convert from the old to new Sheet Music item.
