General Discussion / Avoiding Exported MIDI Notation Mess-ups?
Hi, I recently installed Finale 2007. Since NWC doesn't have the greatest sheet music printing system, I am trying to convert some of my NWC piano pieces to print in Finale. The obvious answer is to export as a MIDI, but every time I re-open the MIDI in any program (either as, the time signatures, keys, rhythms, and everything you can imagine is in a horrible, un-printable state. I have tried every combination of syncing both staves to one channel or separate, muting, and exporting as MIDI Type 1 or 0 and the results are always the same. Yes, I could spent countless hours rewriting these pieces in Finale, but if possible I was wondering if anybody knows a trick or scripting code I can utilize to convert my NWC files into untouched MIDI files. Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / How can I connect two note values at the same time?
In my latest piano composition there is one section where I want to hold a dotted half note for the duration of one 6/8 measure while playing 6 eighth notes at the same time. The dotted half note is to be held by the pedal. How might I notate this?

In the .nwc I have posted, I want the red hilighted notes to be dotted half notes. I also need help beaming across two staffs.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

General Discussion / Quintuplet Problem
Attached is a portion of my latest piano composition (NCW2 File). Notice measures 5-6 do not quite fit the measures. I am aware that quintuplets are impossible in NWC2, but if there is any way to edit these measures in such a way that the visuals are not skewed (and the beats add up correctly) please help me out. I need to print this piece out soon, so even if it doesn't sound right it needs to look right. How might I do this? Thanks.

General Discussion / How do I notate rolled chords?
I have searched the forum for this answer, but with no luck. In my composition I have three measures of eighth note chords going back and forth RH-LH but I need to roll the chords top to bottom for all three measures. If I have to I can always notate 32nd notes, but I need to print this notation ASAP, as correct as possible. Thanks for any suggestions!
