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) :(
