Hi Kurt, There are a couple of things going on with your midi files. In one file, the export was done so there was only one multi channel track (Format 0). So, with a file like this, when you import into Finale, you have to choose Channels become Staves when the Import Midi File Options comes

And I only bring up the caveat to warn that it might not work. ;-) It's always risky (whether it works or not at first glance is immaterial) to reverse-engineer an ETF. You never know what might happen when you open that file down the line, or run a plug-in on it, so handle at your own risk! On

Hi Karen, At 09:00 01.03.2005, you wrote: the important one is to set Remove Notes Smaller Than to zero and click on Convert to Real Notes. This did the trick! Thank you very much. I had a look at the midi files in nuendo's editor, but found nothing special. Never suspected the note lengths.
