A C++ parser and MIDI converter for .tbt TabIt files
The .tbt TabIt file format is described here:
All known versions of TabIt are handled.
tbt-parser depends on zlib and uses CMake for building.
tbt-parser requires a C++17 compiler because of features such as if constexpr.
cd cpp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DZLIB_ROOT=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/zlib/1.3/ ..
cmake --build .
