I manually make a Noteworthy file comprising a minim then a crotchet, in a 6:8 time signature. This should strictly be shown as a dotted crotchet tied to a following quaver at the same pitch, then the crotchet, but I do it wrongly by hand. Then I export it as a MIDI file. NOTE THAT this will comprise only the time signature and note lengths and pitches. No direct beaming information will be contained in the MIDI file. When I import the MIDI file again, using 'detect compound time' where appropriate, Noteworthy still shows it as a minim plus a crotchet. This is fundamentally wrong. Obviously I can edit the file and correct it by hand, but then I could have written the music score with a quill if I had wanted; doing it automatically is why I bought Noteworthy. Importing other files from other sources demonstrates the same problem. Is there a way I can persuade Noteworthy to follow the established rules of music notation - or is that an expectation too far?
Sometimes I take a tune written in the treble clef and 'move' the notes up or down the staff so that they read correctly (obviously at a different octave) in the new bass clef once I have also changed the treble clef symbol to a bass clef syymbol. I observe that any ties between notes do not automatically change from 'going up' to 'going down' or vice versa as might be needed given that the notes have change position on the staff. I can rememdy this by removing each tie and replacing it, one at a time, but this is of course time consuming. Is there a 'audit tie direction' command I can invoke which will do this for me?
