Last I checked it couldn't do polyphony as I think you desire but
there is a Linux app called waon you may want to try that converts wav
to MIDI.

The chords all sound like rather classical harmony to me.
You don't need a genius for this, it's the sort of thing
any church organist would be able to do instantly.
Well, I am a church organist, and have been for years.
I can read music and play it, but unfortunately I seem to lack the
ability
to listen to music and write it down if it's polyphonic. No problem
if it's
monophonic.
i've seen a demo of Clam doing this sort of thing, but again, its
display is visual, not a list.
I've had a go with waon and it's done a far better job than anything
else I've tried today, so thanks for the heads-up.
I had originally thought the relative simplicity of this music would let
it be easily transcoded by software, but on second thought the pipe
organ has lots of other strong harmonics in each note, and this seems to
confuse pitch detection algorithms somewhat.
Maybe for the best results I will simply have to do it by hand (or get
someone else to) :(
Best results I ever got (transcribing a complete polyphonic arrangement)
was having a friend with perfect pitch do it. He was graduating from
Juilliard at the time, so he brought a whole lot of musical training and
skill to the task. ;-)
Another thought I had once (when trying some automatic note recognition
software) was to split the original audio into narrower frequency bands
(say an octave's worth per band), and run the resulting tracks through
the note recognition software separately. I didn't try it out, though,
because I didn't have the time.
