dotnet core compatibility

[nicowitteman]

Hi!
Any plans for making this library dotnet core-compatible?
Kind regards,
Nico Witteman

Hi Nico,

Currently I'm not planning to port the library to .NET Core. At now there are not so much users of the DryWetMIDI to proceed with .NET Core compatibility. This task can take some time but currently I'm focused on new features of the library. But maybe in the future I'll come back to your issue :)

Anyway thank you for your interest to the DryWetMIDI! Feel free to open new issues and ask any questions about the library.

Hi Max,
I switched to framework, and I think the library is very useful. Now I have this issue:
In a MIDI file bwv227.zip
there is a track named "Ténor". In SequenceTrackNameEvent.Text it is represented as "T?nor". That is a pity, because I want to write the tracks away as files with their trackname. This one fails. Any suggestions?

Hi Nico,

It is because the Text of any text-based meta event is processed in ASCII encoding. Obviously the é symbol doesn't belong this encoding. I'm planning to add other encodings support later. Maybe as a first iteration I will introduce kind of TextEncoding property in ReadingSettings/WritingSettings so you will be able to specify desired encoding for strings serialization/deserialization. Yes, sounds like a plan.

Thank you for your feedback and for remebering me about non-ASCII encodings in text-based meta events. I'll try to provide a solution in the next release which should be at the beginning of August.

Nico, I've created separate issue for the non-ASCII encodings support (#2) and moved all our discussion about this problem to the first post of the new issue. All comments on this bug should be placed there. Please press the Subscribe button there to make sure you will recieve all notifications about the issue.

This issue for discussion about .NET Core support only. One problem – one issue. Otherwise it will be difficult for me to maintain list of issues and link commits to specific ones :)
