64th rest sign after the last bar i midi file

• Oct 26, 2013 - 18:45

When I convert an mscz file that I prepared with Muse Score into a midi file, and I play that midi file on my iPad I see a 64th rest sign after the last bar although I have not entered that in the score.
I prepared the file using MuseScoreNightly-2013-10-25-1907-a8e8b7b.7z on a pc running under
Windows 7.

If you're using a scorewriting application to play a midi file (eg. you mention a rest sign), you might be better off exporting from MuseScore into a music XML format - which retains score elements.

For playback of a 'nuanced' performance, sequencing with a midi application works better, but creating a future translation into notation could be problematic, depending on the complexity of the note timings.

For a midi file with subtle timing errors (like your 64th rest):
In notation applications, turn on quantization to establish note boundaries (use 16th, perhaps 8th notes?)
In performance applications, (i.e. to hear a 'nuanced' performance) turn off quantization.

In summary then, perhaps your Symphonix Evolution application can import music .xml, or has a 'quantize' function which you can use to get rid of the 64th rest.

Regards.

Greetings Mr. Jm6stringer,
I followed your advice and tested whether Symphonix could handle XML files. That proved to be not the case. It also doesn’t know a ‘quantize’ function.
So I decided to leave it at that. The 64th rest at the end of the score does no harm and doesn’t bother me. I was just curious to find out if it would be possible to get rid of it but since that seems to be quite complicated I just consider it a small cosmetic imperfection.
Thank you very much for trying to remove it.
