Wow, thanks for the tutorial, karma7! (and welcome to NSM!) The way we make sheets here is a bit different though, and involves creating them entirely from scratch (alleviating the need to search for a midi file).

I understand. Thank you!
the problem is that you're 10 years too late: the vast majority of games since the wii don't even use MIDIs anymore. Also, midi copy-pasting rarely looks good, and you don't need to have perfect pitch to transcribe.

1 will be fine. You've got yourself a deal.
Don't trust MIDIs. Some of them are horrifically unreliable. Some of them just get a few harmonies wrong.
Plus MIDIs don't account for playability at all.
Also using a MIDI from somewhere else and making sheet music based off it isn't exactly nice, and doesn't help develop musical abilities at all, hence why NSM prefers to have the arrangers also be the transcribers.
