Dennis: Since you'r on Sonar, could you get the Interpolate function to work for you in this case? You could set "search" for all duration values and "replace" for the number of EDUs you want. Unfortunately, I've found in a few tests that it's very hard to get Finale to inmport short notes with lots of space between them. In a MIDI file with 24-EDU notes spaced 1000 EDUs apart (so they're right on the beat), Finale still calls them all quarter notes despite their brevity. It can call them grace notes, but that's not what you want in this situation. My idea, therefore, is to use Mass Edit to expand all note values out to a point where the "small" value you want is, by relation, a quarter note. For instance, if you want to eventually have them be 16th notes, multiply the entire passage by 400%. Then, save as MIDI and use Sonar's Interpolate to change all durations to 1024 EDUs (a full quarter note). After importing this MIDI file into Finale, use Mass Edit to change the durations to 25% so that the quarter notes become sixteenths. I haven't tested this solution in its entirety, but it seems like it should work out. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
