MIDI Quantize Options dialog

The MIDI Quantize Options dialog allows you to customize the quantization settings you want

to apply to imported MIDI

les and notes input by recording with a MIDI device.

You can open the MIDI Quantize Options dialog in any of the following ways:

● Click Quantize Options in the MIDI Import Options dialog.

● Click Quantization Options in the Recording subsection of the Play page in Preferences.

NOTE

Your settings are linked between both ways of accessing the dialog.

The

MIDI Quantize Options dialog contains the following options:

Quantization unit

Allows you to set the smallest beat unit to which you want notes to be quantized. For

example, if the smallest intentional note duration in your imported le is an eighth

note, set

Quantization unit to eighth notes.

Detect tuplets

Allows you to control whether off-beat notes can be considered tuplets. If you know

there are no intentional tuplets in your imported MIDI

le, deactivating Detect tuplets

ensures no notes are imported as tuplets.

Quantization unit for tuplets

Allows you to set the smallest beat unit to which you want tuplet notes to be quantized.

For example, if the smallest intentional tuplet note duration in your imported le is a

quarter note, set Quantization unit for tuplets to quarter notes.

Fill gaps

Allows you to determine whether Dorico Elements lls in gaps between short notes.

If you are importing already precisely quantized music, we recommend that you

deactivate

Fill gaps to ensure that note and rest durations are notated exactly as

quantized.
