Hi Bill:
I did indeed do all that, and imported the file successfully, however, as I 
stated in my original message, I couldn't find the 64th note value in lime. All 
it gives me is 32nd with an eighth beat for the metronome. I did send the file 
to albert so you guys can take a look at it. I sent him the original file that 
I wanted transposed to a minor from g minor (that is 2 half steps up). I also 
want it in lime format so I can print it for my sighted students in order to 
avoid conflicting scores. The last couple mesures contain 32nd and 64th notes.
Thanks
Douk

  For rhythmically complex MIDI files, I think Lime might do a better job of 
importing rather than opening the file directly in GOODFEEL.  As I recall, 
shortest note value in GOODFEEL's MIDI Part Control equals 7 which maxes you 
out at 32ND note values.  Yes, send file here and we can play with it.  

  Lime's MIDI import is a bit tedious as you must create a new file with at 
least enough empty measures to hold music from your MIDI file.  It must have 
one part for each MIDI track.  So if your MIDI file has 4 tracks, your empty 
Lime file must have 4 parts.  Use Voice | Parts and Voices to add parts (ALT+V, 
V).  If there are any time signature changes, you must create them in the empty 
Lime file before importing MIDI into Lime.  The MusicXML import feature of Lime 
is much smarter.  To import a MIDI file, you must import it one track at a time.

  Regards,
  Bill

  Hi Albert:
  I have tried your suggestion, but GoodFeel tells me to try to select shorter 
notes in my midi sequencer. So no luck there. I originally wanted to do it in 
limeSo I can do some editing as necessary. Do you have any suggestions in lime?

    Hi,

    First, you probably need to tell GOODFEEL to stop right after loading a 
MIDI file.  You can do this by checking 'Always prompt after loading a MIDI 
file' in the Options | Automation Options dialog.  Then when you load a MIDI 
file GOODFEEL will display the GOODFEEL MIDI Processing dialog which will give 
you access to the (MIDI) Part Control dialog (Alt+C) and in there you'll need 
to change Shortest Note to 7 (for 64th notes) for the parts that need it. I 
highly recommend only changing it for the parts that need it.  Pressing F1 in 
this dialog will explain this dialog more fully and there's a link in there 
about how to navigate and modify fields in there.

    Thanks,
    Albert

    Ok guys. I am stomped here. I have a midi file here that I downloaded from 
the internet. The last few bars contain some 32nd and 64 note values. How can I 
get lime to recognize that? when I import it into lime, the smallest value it 
allows me to select is a 32nd note at an eighth beat. I appreciate your help. I 
have the piece ready for anyone who wants to take a stab at it.
    thanks.
