Cakewalk is gives the timebase as 192 for this MIDI.

I tried running a CAL script on the MIDI based on Malcom's theory ,e.g.

I set the timebase to 120 - the first note I looked at on the violin staff was had a duration of 58 when it should have been 60 to make a "real" 1/8 note. I worked through all events using CAL multiplying by 60/58 and it did not work out.

I then reverted to the original and looked at what was showing as a 1/16 note. On 120, this showed as 28. 30/28 is not equal to 60/58 so by my way of thinking, we are not looking at a simple error caused by say using 100 in place of 120 unless some unfortunate truncation has occured. I've tried the same using the 192 setting.

Maybe something will come to me but for now I'm puzzled...
