I feel very silly, this is my first time ever using python. I'm trying to transpose a midi file to C but I'm unsure as to how! I've installed python and typed the location of this .py file, and even dragged and dropped. It states "SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character"
File is in a folder on desktop with the Midi file wanting to be changed.
