chords2midi.py is a bonus utility that can be used to save a chord progression from the web app as a MIDI file. It accepts all Chords Guru Turbo 100a Deluxe options as paremeters. Press . in the web app to reveal full command to save your current work as MIDI. Note that the online demo uses a REST API to run chords2midi.py, thus providing a direct MIDI download via [Export MIDI file] button.
