Volumes reset on MIDI Exports
I regularly produce "emphasised" files for our SATB choir, providing them with both Notation and MIDI file formats. I have previously had no problems: I set suitable volumes for each emphasised part, save it as a Notation file and then Export as MIDI.
However for our next concert I have two files where on exporting to MIDI the volumes are reset to 96 for all parts and I cannot find any way of overcoming this. These are files which started life as MIDI downloads from another choir's website, but I have worked with such files before from the same website and not had any problems. I should emphasise that files I have created from scratch for this concert still work as required - and the Notation versions of the naughty files do save the emphasised volumes correctly. Can you suggest any reason why a particular file should reset its volumes when exporting to MIDI? I am attaching the files. Thanks Tim |

Hi Tim,
That's weird, because I didn't have any problem changing the volume of a particular staff, exporting the .mid, and then re-opening the .mid (making sure it wasn't the original .not) to see the correctly changed volume levels. Here's how I did it - maybe there's something I'm doing differently which doesn't show the problem. 1. Open the .not file you posted.What should I do differently to make the problem show up? Thanks!

Superspeed response as always. I have worked through your process and as you say that works fine. However, my standard procedure has one extra step: when I do Export to MIDI, I always set on the flag for "write out repeats" as I do sometimes use repeats to match the printed score and if I don't set this flag my MIDI file users are short-changed. So, I have just retested and with "write repeats" unchecked it works correctly and does not reset the volumes - but with "write repeats" checked it does reset the volumes. This means (I think) that I can devise a workaround by taking out the repeats for any naughty files: a bit more time but not impossible. But it is a bit weird, isn't it! Best wishes Tim |

Hi Tim,
You just figured out the condition for me, so I can write up the bug report :) Thanks! Sherry |
