Hi

Mac 2011 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 Sierra 10.12.5; Finale 2016

 

The problem: I'm exporting a MIDI file from Finale. The midi file has no rests - it quantises the notes to compensate. It used to be fine, just what you'd expect, rests and everything.

 

Top screenshot shows an original couple of bars in Finale; second shows Band in a Box MIDI import; third shows Finale MIDI import - so it's obviously not BIAB, it's a problem at export in Finale.

 

 

Annoyingly, the parts are reversed when imported to Finale, though that's no big deal, just a niggle.

 

 

Thanks

David

Is this the right place to ask about this problem?

Yes, you have come to the right place.

 

Unfortunately I seldom export MIDI files, so I can not help you with your problem.

 Nor can I. Unless somebody else here has the answer, you should open a support ticket, using the tab at the top of this page.

Thanks Mike and Peter. I've submitted the ticket as, naturally, I really want to move on as quickly as possible from this. 8))

Hi Mike

Yes, I already thought of .xml, which BIAB does import.

Unfortunately I get the exact same result.

Although I have never before touched the MIDI settings in Finale, I just went to MIDI/Audio>Quantization Settings>More Settings and turned OFF (unticked) Minimize Number of Rests. This has made no difference either.

Thanks for your help so far.

Hopefully, MM Support can find the fault. For kicks, I exported a test file both MIDI and .xml into BIAB 2017 Audiophile and had no issues with missing Rests. Sumpin's goin on...

Thanks Mike

It's weird. MM Support looked at the MIDI file and yes, the rests are in there - but both BIAB and Finale are importing it without. Also weird: the Mac plays the MIDI file fine in the Finder.
