[Finale] score to midi

2005-07-08 Thread Eric Dussault
I've been requested from a composer to produce a midi file from the  
score where each instruments are assigned to a different channel to  
separate everything.
Now I can't get the Timpani to open back to Finale once the midi file  
is produced and display as a pitched intrument. It was assigned to  
channel 26 and I chose timpani from the geneal midi list.

What could be wrong?

Best guess, though I am not certain: 32 MIDI channels is 16 + 16. As 10 is
reserved for percussion, so would be 26. So you really only have 30 spots
for pitched percussion and other instruments. 10 and 26 would be only for
unpitched drum maps.

Channel 26 is actually channel 10 of the second group of channels, and 
channel 10 in GM is a percussion channel.  Try changing it to 25 or 27.
