Q:  I have a MIDI file which has two notes on the same beat. One is a note
    with the duration of 4 beats, the other with one beat. When I view the 
    musical notation in the Piano Roll Window, the note is not correctly 
    transcribed (it is transcribed with the duration of 1 beat instead of 4).


A:  The issue here is that on the same beat, there are two notes with 
    different duration.  Basically it means that there's two 'voices' 
    on the same beat that are 'fighting' for a different time duration.

    This program offers the added feature of notation as a reference and 
    it does it pretty well, but it's not a 'dedicated' Notation software 
    therefore, it does not have advanced Notation features.

    If you really need to print out sheet music, more professional looking
    with Lyrics, Chord Symbols etc. you might want to take a look at Music 
    Write Maestro. In this program, you can designate each note as its own 
    voice and then it will display correctly. MW Maestro can open standard
    MIDI files (.mid) and works very well with our Sequencing programs.
