That's true for cueDuring (and friends). But I'd expect _quoteDuring_ to insert stuff in music like other music-functions may do. And ofcourse it does so. Why not let it be part of a midi? I think it's a valid bug-report, at least a feature-request. Cheers, Harm > I see no reason why the midi output should > include quoted notes.
