But this only works for full measures. If it's important to have Finale do the transcription, and measures are sufficiently varied (such as one containing both a grace note and a quintuplet, as in a piece I recently engraved that started as a MIDI file from the composer), you might want to quantize it in different ways in separate copies. This can be done with either separate files or merely separate staves, and then you can copy partial measures into the original measure. Though this is possible, I don't use this method. In the project I described, I just quantized it to take care of the quintuplet and then manually created the grace note. It might be quicker for some to try out the quantize-multiple-copies method, though. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
