Default problem notating notes in weird Time Signature

Hello!

Getting to the end of my Second Symphony now and there is something strange going on.
I have some weird time signatures, like 11/16 and 13/16. Now it seems that after such a weird signature, the notes aren't getting in the right position.
I have made some pic's so I can make myself clear on this.

This is how it looks in MultitrackStudio in the pianoroll, where I composed this stuff. It's two bars of 11/16 followed by a 3/4

MTS isn't that good with notes, but this is how it looks:

And this is what Composer shows:
notesComposer.jpg


But this is what it Should Be:

Now, if it was only one bar and only one instrument, I wouldn't complain and just correct it by hand, but this goes on several times for 28 instruments. It takes alot of time to do it all by hand.
Can someone please take a look at it? Thanks in advance!

Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,

Since you're using MTS to initially enter the notes, I'm assuming you're exporting a .mid (MIDI) file which you're then importing into Composer. If that's correct, then having a copy of the .mid file to look at would be most helpful. That way, I can better see what Composer gets to interpret into notation.

Thanks!
Sherry

Hello Sherry,

Thanks for answering so fast!
Here it is, only the flute part, but I guess that will be enough to sort things out.

Now, when I attache the mid file it shows a cross, so hopefully you can get it. If not, please let me know how to send it to you, since I can't find an option to send it in an attachement through email or private message.

Hi Ingrid,

From what I can see, the main problems with the transcription are the two notes/rests that occur right around the barlines that I have circled below:

MisTranscription.png

Is that correct? If so, it's a bug in Composer, and I'll report it for fixing.
(This is the Piano Roll view, where I wanted to see if perhaps the .mid file was not saving quite like what the sequencer was showing. The .mid file does look like it's saving correctly, and thus it's a bug in Composer's transcription of the rest/note sequence right around the barline.)

As a side note, I'm curious about what features you find helpful in sequencing a file in MTS rather than directly in Composer. I'm asking because we're always looking for ways to improve our software, and if there's something that you find helpful in other software that we can borrow ideas from, then that helps everyone

Thanks!
Sherry
