  Retranscribe in the MIDI menu will do precisely that.

What a relief! Thanks very much Dennis.

I wonder what I needed to search on to find out about that. I think I tried 
note values.

[Finale] Mass turning ties into dots? Possible? WinFin 2014

2015-05-08 Thread Patsy Moore
Hello Listers,

My WinFin 2014 frustrations and annoyances continue, this time with a file 
imported from Midi.

It's an orchestral score starting in 6/8 and continuing in a mixture of 6/8 
and 9/8. When it's imported it mysteriously has a whole bar's rest at the 
beginning, followed by another 1/8 rest in the few parts that are playing 
at the beginning. Everything that follows is showing up 1/8 later than 
intended. There are also quite a lot of empty measures at the end of the 
music, which are not a problem, just a mystery.

I've managed to remove the surplus 7 x 1/8 at the beginning and rebar, but 
instead of getting dotted 1/4 or dotted 1/2 for the longer notes I've got 
forests of ties, e.g. most bars with a single long note showing 
1/4-tie-1/8-tie twice instead of dotted 1/2.

I'm doing my best to removed the unhelpful word should from my 
vocabulary, but I hope I'm missing a way to turn the tied notes globally 
into dotted ones.

Greetings from England,

Patsy
