Monique, with the so-called MIDI, when I right-click and select Save As, it tells me that the type is HTML document. I can't use that in Noteworthy Composer, which is my brand of music software. (It's not unusual to find the a so-called MIDI is actually HTML.)

What's the difference? I can do many things with a true MIDI. Change the key, write harmony, add a bass clef, add chords, print.

As for the time, I'll try making the first two notes pick-up notes and see what happens.

Thanks for your suggestions.
