MIDI.js dependency resolution fails - repository not found

[theslyprofessor]

I'm encountering a dependency resolution issue when trying to install react-abc@^0.4.0 in a React project. The installation fails because it's trying to fetch from a repository that no longer exists.

Error Message:

error Command failed.
Exit code: 128
Command: git
Arguments: ls-remote --tags --heads https://github.com/paulrosen/MIDI.js.git
Directory: /path/to/project
Output:
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/paulrosen/MIDI.js.git/' not found

Environment:

• Node.js
• Yarn: 1.22.22 and Bun
• react-abc: ^0.4.0
• React: ^18.2.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new React project
2. Add react-abc@^0.4.0 to dependencies
3. Run yarn install
4. Installation fails with the above error

Expected Behavior:
The package should install successfully and MIDI.js dependencies should resolve correctly.

Current Behavior:
Installation fails because the MIDI.js dependency points to https://github.com/paulrosen/MIDI.js.git which returns a 404/repository not found error.

Investigation:
It appears that the MIDI.js repository has been moved or the original paulrosen/MIDI.js repository is no longer available. I found that MIDI.js may now be available at https://github.com/mudcube/midi.js but react-abc's dependency resolution is still pointing to the old location.

Possible Solutions:

1. Update the MIDI.js dependency to point to the correct repository
2. Pin to a specific version of MIDI.js that's available on npm
3. Consider using an alternative MIDI library if MIDI.js is no longer maintained

Additional Context:
This issue affects the ability to use react-abc in new projects and prevents existing projects from doing fresh installs. Any guidance on a workaround or timeline for a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Workaround Attempted:
I tried adding a resolution in package.json:

"resolutions": {
  "midi": "git+https://github.com/mudcube/midi.js.git"
}

But this leads to module resolution errors during compilation, suggesting the package structure may have changed.
