I need to quench my thirst for knowledge and learn something new just for the sake of it.

I've already learned:

  • Equations and pivot tables in Excel

  • Vector graphics in Inkscape

  • Music mixing in rekordbox

  • Personal VPN on a raspberry pi 4 with OpenVPN

  • LAMP stack web hosting

  • Streaming & video capture with OBS

  • Manual & automatic backups with FreeFileSync

Things I'm open to:

  • FOSS (even beta) or free-as-in-beer software

  • A high or low learning curve

  • Tools for niche fields that I'd otherwise have no reason to learn

I know you can import .midi files, it might work by exporting as a MIDI (if possible) and trying it that way?

    Well the problem is that I can no longer install Finale on my system and from what I’ve read, you’d need to use Finale to convert .musx files to Xtml for import. I might have to find another way or bug a friend of mine who might still have Finale to do it for me.
