MIDI is not a very good format for representing music notation - it leaves way too much out, making programs guess at what the MIDI files mean. Computer programs aren't very good at guessing. You would get better results if Digital Performer (and Logic, and Cubase) exported MusicXML files. You could then read the notation into either Finale or Sibelius with much greater accuracy than MIDI will ever be able to provide. New notation-based programs like Notion are supporting MusicXML import before they support MIDI import. So I think that the people who can best solve moving files from Digital Performer to Finale are at MOTU rather than MakeMusic. If you agree, please let MOTU know. It means much more if they hear it from customers like you rather than a vendor like us.
