I'm transcribing a piece originally written with a lot of syncopation, using half-values ties across the beat, as well as what I think must be intended as a "swing" feel, notated with dotted rhythms. No problem reproducing the visual elements, but I also need to produce practice tracks for an a

Ciao Robert, sorry if I reply so late. What you propose to do is a bit too complicated for me and I'll use it as a last resort. What I'm trying to do now is just to open the midi file with musescore and add a note in the file to correctly shift the others. Anyway, it would be great having some pr
