Hi Herman and Paul and others.

Wait a minute, you don't need to completely retune the originals again. The
problem is nothing else than that Scala doesn't create a correct SMF1 with
one channel per track. I've mentioned this to Manuel some years ago and he
suggested converting them to SMF0 and eventually back to SMF1 with the
GNMidi tools (see www.gnmidi.com). I've tried this out and it works.

Thanks, I forgot about that. I think I can do this with Cakewalk; do these files sound right on your sound card, Paul?

It worked! At least, these definitely aren't in 12-equal!
