Please do be aware that if you're using an application that claims to analyze an audio file and then export a MIDI file, there are very few that can do this with any degree of accuracy even for single-note melody lines. If you're trying to export a multi-instrument file, it will most likely not yield very good results. I certainly don't mean to be discouraging, just realistic Analyzing the pitches correctly within the scope of harmonics, natural vibrato and slides, and nailing the rhythm exactly correctly given variations in human playing, and other considerations make getting an audio file transcribed to MIDI a very difficult task. Notation products do a great job of transcribing MIDI to notation, but it needs a good MIDI file to start with

The good news is that we are currently working on a soon-to-be released feature that will help tremendously with setting proper barlines in such MIDI files. I'd be glad to take a look at your file and see if it would benefit from that new feature.

ttfn,

Dear Sherry

I understand your explanation and hope to see the enhancements, you explained, soon.
My rational was: after getting a midi file from an instrument (.mid) and importing to notation file (.not) would give me a full graphical view with nothing else underneath.
So when a note in exactly below another in the staff of the 2nd instrument (and suppose that both are "25 - Acoustic Guitar (nylon)" they should be absolutely synchronized, so sounding at the same time when playing the generated audio.
That, very often, doesn't happen.
The only workaround I found, to get a perfect audio sound, is to print the music sheet and create a brand new sheet, in Notation Composer, note by note, measure by measure.
It's ok but hard work.

Tks.
Mario
