Pedro,
This tool would be amazing! Do you have a compiled version you can send me? I don't have a way to build it...
Thanks in advance!

The Sourceforge page has both source and precompiled packages: the .AppImage file may be used on any Linux 64 bits, and there is also a .setup.exe installer for Windows 64 bits. If you use Debian/Ubuntu Linux, there are also Deb-Multimedia precompiled packages for several architectures.

I would definitely like a precompiled version of this as I’ve also no way to build it. I’d like to get my old .wrk files into .mid files. Is there anything extra I need to do to make this happen?

Cakewalk by Bandlab is a free application. You can open your .wrk files and save them to .mid files.
