Daniel, Must have been you and not Johannes who explained this before. What is the trick inside the non-standard key signature that allows the output values to be 'stretched'? What's happened to me (and what I mentioned in a previous post) is that I can output using custom accidentals until it gets to the next traditional value ... then it 'resets'. In other words, I can send out any number of divisions above C in (say) 1/8 tones, but as soon as I send a C-sharp, it starts the 1/8-tone scale over again from the 'real' C-sharp. Finale sends all those 1/8-tone accidentals as Midi values of C, C-sharp, D, D-sharp ... which works fine going to an 1/8-tone-tuned device. Where is the place in the non-standard key signature dialog(s) to indicate that stretch? And what happens when it runs out of official Midi notes? This is probably something I'm making too difficult, or I gave up on it too easily.
