Re: Note values gone crazy

[Sven]

Hi David,

thanks for you reply.

I'm 100% sure I've entered the code (music and chords) by hand. So no midi import. I'm also pretty sure I didn't write something as ridiculous as bes8:m7 s8 s8 s8 s8 s8 s1*85/1024 s1*85/1024 s512*43. So it seems that Frescobaldi (or something else) changed my the code at some point...

Weird.

Known issue of what?  Frescobaldi does not magically change your files.
They looked like that before.

This is rather typical for the output of midi2ly when the source of the
Midi has been recorded by a sequencer and more likely than not played by
a human.

Shrug.  You can reexport to Midi (better would be to use the original
Midi file) and try reimporting with different parameters to midi2ly.

But the results rarely are fabulous.
