melos (release 1.0), English version

melos analyzes sound that you present to it using a microphone (voice or 
instrument) or by opening a monophonic WAV file. It immediately shows the 
information as musical score. You can save the notes as a MIDI file.

Important !
The result strongly depends on your cooperation. Please avoid any noise and
sing or play clearly. Try to select the correct parameters. In most cases
you will need a little exercise to get good results.
