Whenever a midi instrument is used to lay down a midi track (next imported into RG) there are the inevitable inconsistancies like an 8th note repeated in the next bar becomes a 16th plus a 16th rest. Is there a way to clean this up by asking RG to feed rests of a certain duration or less to adjoining notes to be absorbed? Or, if that's impossible then simply not show them although this would lead to quantization issues? (I'm trying top produce sensible sheet music)
I hit that all the time. I'm not as precise a player as the timing resolution MIDI offers and don't keep tempo very well. ("You've got a natural swing," my classical piano instructor told me, and it took a lot of work to overcome it!)
Same about the 16th note + 16th rest. MIDI timing says we released the 16th note before it should have ended (for a 16th note at that tempo). My main MIDI keyboard is pretty dusty, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's sometimes being caused by accumulated dust in the switches.
I usually inspect the recorded notes for extraneous things that simply don't belong. Like, say, a note that was supposed to be a 16th note on the second beat that actually started a bit before the second beat. That might get turned into a 1/32nd+1/16th note tie instead, so now the nominal 1/t6th note runs longer and maybe throws following notes off... Untie the tie, delete the 1/32nd note. Then I run quantization on it and fix whatever else needs fixing.
I work a lot with sheet music. For me, it's much faster to put in notes using Rosegarden, vs trying to record them. RG particularly seems to have difficulties with polyphonic scores and printing. I usually have to do workarounds to make things print properly. For example, suspended-4th chord where the only note changing is the 4th. If the rest of the chord is half notes and the 4th is a quarter note over them, the only way I get them to print properly is to turn the half notes into tied quarter notes. Otherwise, notes get thrown off when printed.
RG people - isn't there a setting that tells RG NOT to tie notes across bar lines?
