Re: [tuning] Digest Number 667

I, too, have run into a tempo problem with Cakewalk when sequencing
Borodin's Polovtsian dances. It seems that anything greater that 250 gets
reduced to 250. A work-around is to change the time signature, 4/4->2/4,
6/8->3/8, 3/4->? I have also found that Cakewalk moves program changes to
the beginning of a track if it is the first event on the track. This really
creates problems when multiple tracks share the same MIDI channel. I get
around that one by putting an extra measure with a short, ppp note at the
beginning of each track. Most the time, though, I just use another sequencer.
