there are a number of groups of instruments (not always adjacent staves)
that i need the MIDI data for (basic pitch info is enough), so i copied the
(large) score, deleted measures surrounding the cue and deleted all
instruments which are not used in the cue. at a quick glance, the music
seems correct, but why would staccato 8ths in the .MUS show up as non
staccato 16ths when i open the extracted .SMF in finale? i've tried a
number of combinations of "retain note durations" and "soften syncopations"
and "sensitivity level"... HP is off as well.
i really only need plain vanlila MIDI, pitches and dynamics.

One possibility is the playback info assigned to staccato dots. The
staccato symbol (and indeed any articulation) can be assigned a midi command
such as alter the duration or the velocity. In the original file, select
the articulation tool, double-click on one of the staccato dots, and change
the playback effect to "none". Then export the file again. See if that
works.
