Comment on Transcribing Piano Rolls, the Pythonic Wayparent

Interesting that they used computers to make them. It seems obvious in hindsight; player piano music is digital!

Also interesting that we had digital data storage, in the form of punched cards and tape, decades before digital computers.

Longer than that. The Jaquard loom was invented in 1801 and the player piano was first demonstrated in 1876.
