Get the abc2midi program (free sourcecode) and don't reinvent the wheel.

See the ABC homepage <http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc>

Most MIDI projects that could be done have already been. One thing
that might be useful and which, as far as I know, doesn't exist
already would be a program to do approximate matching between MIDI
files, allowing you to create a sort of tune-Google given a database
of MIDI files.
