Hi all, MIDI newbie here.
I'm looking for a way to extract all the melody information about a midi track that I exported from a DAW (Logic, in this case).
That would be: time, note on/off, note number, velocity and so forth...
In the end, my goal is to use that information to plug it into a graphic software (Blender) using a Python script, in order to visually illustrate the melody the way I want.
I've only managed to open the file in a text format, and I don't understand much of what I have here (see image attached).
Any idea of the way I should approach this problem?

Well this is a standard MIDI file, you would need to open it rather as binary. See the "Standard MIDI File" section of the complete MIDI specification at https://www.midi.org/specifications/item/the-midi-1-0-specification for the file format.
If you are looking for something ready to use, try one of the suggestions at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2933938/reading-a-midi-file-in-python or e.g. https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/latest/parsing.html

Don't think of any way that has a graphic user interface?
Welp, I'm also kind of new to python and to coding in general. This seems like a huge challenge but if it's the only way, I'll try to understand how these python libraries work.

You can convert a MIDI file to/from CSV format, which may be friendly for scripting:
