I have just been looking at Cakewalk and resolutions. I use the default setting of 120 ticks per quarter note. Based on that, a 16th note triplet would have a duration of 20 ticks so it can be caculated accurately by the software and it supports resolutions of up to 480 ticks per quarter note.

At 120 ticks per quarter note with a tempo of 100, each tick would be 5 milliseconds. I have messed around with the timing settings and my P133 seems to cope perfectly well with the time period and resolution both set to 1 millisecond. I also tried long timer periods and I must be honest and say that I didn't notice any difference on any file up to 30 miliseconds and in some cases they still sounded OK at 50.

Coming back to the original post, I am not knocking any software or any reccomendations, I was trying to point out that midi's that have been sequenced to sound right can sometimes produce very wierd looking notation.

I have yet to find an ideal solution and have tended to use ABC for some purposes because it can do things that MIDI can't in terms of music.

BTW, I can't sight read - I just see how things are normally notated in books and have found that sometimes it takes quite bit of messing around to translate that to how I think it should sound. A lot depends on what you want to do i.e. produce a file to be a "peformance" or to learn and possibly print music. I dabble with both and still have a lot to learn.
