ANY hope for me to be able to avoid going back to pen and paper?
A. You have a good question here! The problem starts with MIDI itself. The usual 24 clock pulses per quarter note nor the usual 192 steps per quarter note as dictated by most sequencers will not allow you to handle quintuplets properly. As for sequencers, you need to use a sequencer that allows you to dictate your own timing resolution and allow you to quantize by any integer value you want if it is within reason. You need to seriously look at resolutions such as 240, 480, or even 960 steps per quarter note. A resolution of 240 is evenly divisible for quintuplets, sixty-fourth notes and sixty-fourth note triplets. Indeed, this resolution may be a good choice for you. As for the transcribing end, you need a transcriber that will first of all, handle quintuplets. About 80-90 percent (or more) of all transcribers will NOT handle them. Some of them, including Dr. Ts Copyist, series will handle them, but you must finish them by editing each of them one by one. While I am not up too much yet
