Hi! Hi! I have been using Sibelius for A long time and have got some problems with opening midi files. You can't know how Sibelius would open your midi files if you prepared them with other programs. For Example, if it's A piano score, you have to make shure that the piano part is written in A grand staff and have the right staff name, the articulations, the dynamics, the pedal marks and so on. But if it's A vocal score, you have to make shure that the lyrics are written there. Anyway, as you probably know, the notes' durations should be clear and accurate, without unnecessary ties. I hope that it helps.

Can I import them directly into Sibelius and print them out or is there something that I need to do ahead of time to prepare the files for Sibelius for printing. HF
