MIDI file from Sibelius loops on its own in seq
Jun 02 2012 | 6:35 pm
Hi!
A bit frustrated trying to get a MIDI file exported from Sibelius 6 to play in seq-object WITHOUT looping. There is no "bang upon completion" from the right output of seq. I'm starting to think this is some Sibelius bug. But I'm hoping someone has a work around?
A bit of a panic, too! Need to get this ready yesterday!
Thanks!

- Jun 02 2012 | 8:29 pmAre you sure that the exported midi file has format 0 ?
- Jun 02 2012 | 10:30 pmYes, it's format 0. I'm sure, because I made a format 1 first, which wouldn't work at all...
- Jun 03 2012 | 1:17 amHave you tried playing the file with some other sequencer program? Or you could upload the file here and we may find out what's going on.
- Jun 03 2012 | 7:13 amThanks broc! I've uploaded one file which auto-loops for some reason.No, I haven't tried another sequencer, really. I very seldom work with MIDI files, so I wouldn't know what to do with it in another program either.I'm guessing that Sibelius simply exports rather dirty MIDI...

- Jun 03 2012 | 7:53 pmbroc!Thanks for checking it out! What you say makes me realise that Sibelius is exporting way too much as a MIDI file! Instead of just an excerpt, which is what it is supposed to do... Well, my fault! Thanks a lot, you did straightened me out as to what was wrong: faulty human operator!! (As so often...)Cheers!
