Re: MIDI Import errors - any ideas?
Reply #2 –
G'day Cliff,
i. This is a common convention used to show where the beats are - While I'm no not aware of a user tool that will fix this, it wouldn't be that difficult to write one I wouldn't think... NWC cannot be instructed to change this behaviour...
ii. the 4,4 groupings are not the normal convention in 4/4 or Common time. If you want to make this happen automagically then temporarily change the time signature to 2/2 or cut Common time (Alla Breve). Do your automatic beam, and then change the time sig. back. NB notes already beamed will NOT be changed - you'll have to manually un-beam 'em first (select the whole staff and then press <Ctrl-B> should do it for you)
iii. Import of MIDI is NOT a notation import - NWC detects the note on and note off commands - as a result there is no definition for a rest - it is simply the duration between a note off and the next note on...
Given that you are looking at imports from Sharpeye, and I have already mentioned this in another post, I suggest you look at MXML2NWCC to import from mxml instead of using MIDI and as the intermediary format.
Hmm, I noticed you just posted while I was writing this - still, I'll post it anyhow for future reference...
