I wasn't tossing rocks at RG, not at all, just wondering if the mess created
(maybe) by a midi keyboard could easily be fixed in RG. Actually as far as I
know the guy who laid the midi track for me may well have set the 'precision
knob' to 1/64 if such exists. This image shows what I received at the top, in
the middle it shows how I edited it in RG and which it so happens sounds even
more the way it should, and finally the doctored human copy which as per my
policy leaves rests of 1/16 and less right out.

So without a midi 'precision-knob' on the keyboard it'd be the hardware that
makes the mess, something the manufacturers might wanna add some control
features. A midi track is created to get a sound and a timing and for that I
see nothing wrong with even four tied notes and rests that look like grapes.
It's mission is not to create sheet music, that however could be provided for
with a precision-knob.
