But the glory of the Retranscribe function is the ability to retranscribe "all *or part* of the music," as James said. I was recently doing a MIDI transcription of a piece that had a lot of rhythmic diversity, and one set of quantization settings did not suffice for the whole composition. A "mostly eighth notes" type of quantization picked up a lot of it, but I had to retranscribe a number of individual measures in order to compensate for things like quintuplets and dotted-eighth-sixteenth rhythms. Changing quantization and re-importing the whole file would fix certain sections but break others, so having the ability to apply to only the parts you choose is essential for MIDI transcription that is more rhythmically complex than a series of eighth-note pulses. -- 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
