I´m not a MIDI expert, but why use the MIDI way if you could import MIDI also directly into Finale? [This is probably possible.] As MIDI does not contain any layout information it is not well suited for producing MusicXML output. Additionally, I don´t know the current features of MIDI files, but is

You could also use MuseScore (www.musescore.com) which is available for linux & windows and which runs via the command line as well. Therefore, converting midi to musicXML goes really fast. tabster wrote: > > I´m not a MIDI expert, but why use the MIDI way if you could import MIDI > also direct

Yes, you can import MIDI into Finale but as Dominic notes, it doesn't have enough information embedded to get good results. Even very simple pieces are so badly messed up that it would be easier simply to enter all the notes again than try to fix the MIDI import. At least this has been my exp

Hi James, How does the output differ from what's suggested in 1.8.1.3, printing marks on every staff? In a "French score" — i.e., using { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } — you may be missing the marks on certain systems. Otherwise, the outputs are probably identical. Cheers, Kieren. _
