MIDI Imports - Flat keys

2004-12-19 01:56 pm

Whenever I import a MIDI in a flat key (e.g. E Flat Major) it imports it a C Major and adds accidentals of, for example d sharp, a sharp and g sharp, to reprisent e flat, b flat and a flat. Is there anyway of getting around this?

This is an example:

NWC2 will import key signatures if they are included in the MIDI file. If the MIDI file does not include a key signature, then NWC2 will import the performance as if it is in C Major. You can add key signatures after the fact using the Key Change procedure.
