[Python] mido: example code for creating a midifile

I am trying to create a midifile using mido but I didn't find a clear example of how to create a midifile using mido. what I am looking for is the equivilent of this code using midiutil:


degrees = [60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72] # MIDI note number
track = 0
channel = 0
time = 0 # In beats
duration = 1 # In beats
tempo = 60 # In BPM
volume = 100 # 0-127, as per the MIDI standard

MyMIDI = MIDIFile(1) # One track, defaults to format 1 (tempo track is created
# automatically)
MyMIDI.addTempo(track, time, tempo)
MyMIDI.addTimeSignature(0, time, 4, 2, 24)

for i, pitch in enumerate(degrees):
MyMIDI.addNote(track, channel, pitch, time + i, duration, volume)

with open("major-scale.mid", "wb") as output_file:
MyMIDI.writeFile(output_file)


I hope someone wants to explain how to(using mido):

• create midiobject
• set tempo
• set timesignature
• add note
• add keysignature
• save the file as midifile.mid.

Thanks in advance!
