Hi Hal, Thanks for your reply. I ran a little test myself with a default file and the problem didn't show up. The problem is actually in a bigger file that was originally created in an earlier version (98) of Finale, but modified in 2003a.r1. I tried copying and pasting all entries from the origi

when I save a > separate midi file and play it back thru the QuickTime Player, there are all kinds of undesirable changes: the timbres are slightly different, trumpets overbalance trombones, notes chop off short (as if marked stacc.) or begin late (like a fluffed attack), and there are brief

What MIDI device are you using for playback from Finale? If it's anything other than the QuickTime MIDI Instruments, the change in the file may just be a result of using a different set of synthesized instruments. - Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Saturday, November 08, 2003 1:4

Dear Andrew: Are you using the MIDI tool for playback and/or the expressions? The expressions add their values to the MIDI ones, and that can give you those very faint notes. IMV I only use one of the two methods and never both... I will be happy to help you if you send me the file... Saludos, Ja

I'm a FinWin2004 user, so I'm not sure my answer is applicable, but I'll give it a stab and hope it helps. First off, General MIDI (GM) only specifies the timbre (and rather loosely, at that), and does not specify the relative volume of the various MIDI instruments. Thus, what may balance between t
