[JW Lua] Percussion midi map - Reading the percussion note names

[Jan Angermüller]

I thought there might have been such a text file,
but I didn't find it. So thank you very much for the hint !
That's just the percussion information I need.

And yes, you're right, implementing a file import for that
is of low priority. I will do something on my own.
