I uses Finale to produce MIDI files because I'm creating scores from old sources, and as I edit the score, I need the MIDI file to update accordingly. If I had to update the MIDI file separately to reflect changes to the Finale score, it would be a nightmare. So, from my point of view, the only *real* way to create MIDI files from a notation program is to have the notation program usable as a sequencer. Finale is frustrating in many respects, but because of my notational orientation, I find real sequencers extremely hard to use, as well. To me, it's simply natural for the notation to produce a proper MIDI performance. Sequencers are unnatural for the way I think about music. -- David W.
