Hello, I'm reworking a piece done long ago in 4/4, am thinking it would be much more natural in 2/4 with all note values halved (2 quarters and 4 8ths in 4/4 would become 2 8ths and 4 16ths in 2/4, etc). Is there an easy way to halve all the note values? TIA, Ch.S. (PS- Mac, 2000c)

On Wed, 1 May 2002 19:37:59 -0400, it was said I have to say, that the difference to my ear between an isolated on-beat eighth note and an isolated on-beat sixteenth note is too small for me to bother with, and so that notation rarely shows up in my work. I prefer to write eighth-note,

[Finale] playback mess

I just did some heavy editing of a file prepared by someone else, and now I find that the note durations play back as if the machine was drunk. The guy who made the original file is a MIDI fiend, and he may have done some sophisticated adjustment of the durations that has gotten screwed up by
