I recently did a MIDI transcription of a score with a bunch of odd tuplets like this, and Finale is not particularly good at doing these things all by itself. It sometimes helps to play with the Quantization settings (after the whole file has been imported) and then retranscribe just the section with the odd tuplet. However, you can only retranscribe full measures, so sometimes using a really sensitive Quant setting to notate the tuplet correctly will mess up the rhythms in the rest of the bar. If you make sure all the 'note on' and 'note off' messages have been precisely quantized in the MIDI file before the import this will work better. But the short answer is: good luck... this isn't one of Finale's strong points. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
