I´m not a MIDI expert, but why use the MIDI way if you could import MIDI
also directly into Finale? [This is probably possible.]
As MIDI does not contain any layout information it is not well suited for
producing MusicXML output. Additionally, I don´t know the current features
of MIDI files, but is it at all possible to add lyrics?
