Well, I was addressing the issue of recovering the original. If you delete everything, then you're using a copy of the score that won't be printable, and you have to return to an earlier version of it for printing after you've created your MIDI file. My feeling is that if you don't want performance data in MIDI files saved by Finale, then don't put any in in the first place. Have all your articulations and expressions defined to not effect performance, and you won't have to do anything, except turn off human playback (to ignore the hairpins). For the person who doesn't want to hear Finale's performance "interpretations," that would seem the long-term solution, i.e., have your libraries have no performance definitions. Of course, I can't quite conceive of why having dynamic marks and articulations in playback would interfere with aural proofreading, as one person said, or why you'd want to redo everything in the score from scratch in a hand-edited MIDI file, but I have very little imagination, I guess. -- David W.
