I don't think this line of discussion is really relevant to
the topic anymore, so I've marked it OFF TOPIC.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean... do you mean you've
tried making music played on something other than a guitar
sound like it was played on a guitar by modifying the MIDI
events before playback?

I've never used any MIDI software where it took hours to move
MIDI data onto separate tracks, so I'm having a hard time
imagining your example. Could you explain what you mean? What
software are you using? What are you using for source material?

Okay, but I don't see how the situation would be any better
with something other than MIDI as the control protocol. The
nature of a guitar is that each string can have a different
pitch bend amount, so if you start out without that you will
need to add it somehow. I would think someone someday will
write an algorithm for doing that automatically (probably
for MIDI <g>).
The other practical solution (and one which MIDI provides)
is simply to play the score on a guitar in the first place.
MIDI guitars capture individual pitch bends on every string.
But maybe I don't understand your complaint.
