Also remember that we can retranscribe individual sections.
Export isn't really a "settable" factor--Notation programs simply exports what
they have in them. If it has a note of 560 EDUs, it exports a note of 560 EDUs. It is up
to the interpreting program and its user to decide if 560 EDUs is an eighth note or a
staccato quarter.
The assumption is that users of notation programs use step-time entry (simple
or speedy) and notes will be 100% of value (settable in some cases). So a
staccato quarter, where staccato means 60% value, is exported as a note of 615
EDUs in Finale or 288 of 480 ticks in Overture. That's why MIDI import has the
variable parameters. It is up to the IMPORT to decide whether 615 EDUs is a
long eighth followed by an eighth rest or a staccato quarter. If you checked
the box i mentioned last time (minimize rests), such notes would be transcribed
as quarters.
It failed to register on me as well that EXPORT was under discussion, rather
than import.
Export is what it is. The interpretation is on the IMPORT end.

Under the Midi/Audio pull down (2008) you can look at Import midi

try setting the minimum duration to eights. It's possible, I
suppose, that Finale is keeping a midi value of a sixteenth
(followed by a sixteenth rest) for a staccato 16th, but I really
don't know.
i haven't been back to this yet, and won't before tomorrow so i
can't verify this will do it, but if there are also 16ths, how does
this affect it? or is min. dur. some kind of MIDI interpretation
setting?
Right, if there are 16th's else where in the music, this method won't
work for you. Also, upon reading this, however, it occurred to me
that you want to adjust settings for export since that's what you're
wanting to do.
