Can you slow down the audio tracks? How is the sound quality of the slowed down tracks? If it is like what they are using with SmartMusic, I wouldn't buy it. SmartMusic's slow down sounds terrible even when you slow it down a little compared with what Transcribe or The Amazing Slowdowner do.

Hi Chuck (and SHSU list), Do you happen to have Finale installed on a drive other than your boot drive? If so, this could be causing the problem. For now, you could either install Finale on your boot drive or create a bookmark to Finale 2008/Help Files/Finale.htm in the browser of your choice.

Under the Midi/Audio pull down (2008) you can look at Import midi file options. If it all looks like it makes sense, you might just try setting the minimum duration to eights. It's possible, I suppose, that Finale is keeping a midi value of a sixteenth (followed by a sixteenth rest) for a
