I'm trying to simulate a pedal steel guitar in a Finale file. I tried loading a MIDI file with pedal steel in it, but what loaded into Finale sounded like garbage. Specifically, the notes were all choppy and didn't slur together the way a pedal steel guitar's does. Can anyone give me pointers

Thanks David! Sheer cowardice caused me not to try this without advice, It works fine. But why does one need to “Not rebar music”. Why is that box the default if it’s not required?   >I have done a piece in 6/4 time- as the original given to me. It really should be in 6/8- it’s very odd

No argument John- but when a community concert band has one rehearsal to get it right then one must take the line of least resistance. Basically my guys can't seem to equate a quarter rest with a "third of a beat" in 6/4- while a quarter rest in 6/8 is familiar enough to sightread. I doubt Beetho
