Help! I have been receiving MIDI files from a client--created originally in Encore, and saved as a standard MIDI file. I have managed to open fifteen of them in Finale and create Finale scores using the MIDI information, comparing it to a PDF of the Encore printout for accuracy.
Encore is, of course, a horror show, but most of the time I can make these work. The 16th file, created in the same way, refuses to open and gives me an error message that says Finale cannot open this filetype. I downloaded it the same way I did the others. Like the others, it has .mid at the end of the file name, and he PDF of that file is perfect. I've tried opening it by double clicking, by opening it "within the program" and every other way I can think of. I even tried importing it in xml, but nothing works. It imported a blank score. The client "reconstituted" the MIDI file from the original Encore file, as he had the others, and they were just fine, opened like a charm. This one... well, does anyone have any advice? (Just make a new score from the pdf?.... he insists that there will be too many errors in translation. But that may be my last resort. Thanks for any words of wisdom.
