Omar,

You can use quantization to help stretch out your notes to fill in the blanks, 
as a MIDI file in Sonar, I'm sure. If you are using Sibelius there are a couple 
plug-ins that help to clean up MIDI scores imported so that your cleanup is a 
lot simpler.

Other than that, Gordon's suggestion is the absolute best way to generate a 
file that is clean. Play every note as legato and simple as possible to avoid 
the gaps. It's actually easier to clean up a file with overlapping notes using 
Sibelius, than to fill one in with short-duration notes.

I've produced some very ugly scores in Sibelius and I finally figured out why 
my fellow musicians were gagging as they tried to play the music. Lots of 
laughs.

Dave

  I think that by the time you go through and edit your note durations so that 
they make sense on paper you would probably be better off.  I'm speaking from 
experience here.  You really need to hold notes out to their full rhythmic 
values or you'll get some pretty strange looking notation with whole notes tied 
to 16th notes in the next measure or double doted quarter notes followed by a 
sixteenth note rest, stuff that folks who are trying to read the music will not 
like at all.

    So you're saying to redo the entire song?

      Omar:
      I think that you would be better off reentering the data with notation in 
mind.  Playing for performance and playing for notation are two different 
animals.  A project played for performance will most likely be unreadable when 
displayed as notation because notes are never played to their full values and 
there are going to be timing issues that will generate very strange notation.

        Hello,

        One of my former artists needs one of the songs her and I recorded 
translated into notation. I used Sonar to create the music. How would I get it 
into notation for her?

        Thanks.
