Dave, There's also an option in the import MIDI file dialog to round notes up to the duration you specify. I can't remember the exact name of the check box but it does much the same thing as quantising. It's worth checking out the "simplify notation" plug-ins because these can really help with awkward MIDI files. The best ones are: Combine Tied Notes and Rests Remove Unison Notes Renotate Performance Dan Rugman visit the new on-line resource for visually impaired musicians and home of Sibelius Access. www.musicaccess.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: 30 November 2008 18:30 To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Selecting one note in a chord Chris, Further to your question: If you import a MIDI file and don't want separate voices to result, there is a checkbok in the MIDI import dialog to control that. Also I presume that before you import the MIDI file you have quantized it both in note position and note duration so that it will not have a bunch of 32nd, 64th, 128th, and 256th note and rest durations and ties? Gets really messy unless you take care to quantize before importing.

It has a chord of G4 and G5 at the first position on the stave. I want to delete the G4. The manual says in 1.6 Selecting: If you want to select a particular notehead in a chord, use Alt+3/ I don't get what it means by Alt+3/. When I do this it just tells me I'm moving to voice 3. That is, I press Alt and the number 3 on the number 3 on the keyboard. Using the number pad with num lock on and off makes no difference. Does the slash indicate a control key that hasn't rendered from the PDF to the text file? Alt+F3 doesn't work either - this is the system objects dialogue. Pressing tab selects both notes. Help please!
