Hi Bob... and thanks for your encouraging reply. It's good I'm not alone in this. I've gone back and tried "None", in addition to almost all the HP exports. I've even gone so far as trying it with Finale Notepad 2009. Apparently the guys as Finale (and I do hope you're listening up there) think that when an eighth note is notated, what we REALLY mean is a sixteenth with a a sixteenth rest.... and so on. In addition, there odd anticipations on quarter notes. I find it unconscionable that this has been allowed to continue thru the eons that Finale has been around. It should not be necessary to quantize durations upon export. A quarter is a quarter, an eighth an eighth, a sixteenth is a sixteenth. Sheesh Finale! Regards, Earl
