Export Fermatas in midi

• Sep 27, 2024 - 20:25

I am exporting Fermatas into a midi file. I am using midi files to connect to my keyboard an do some stuff, but the problem is, that if I add fermatas to the sheet, when I export it as midi, it only gives the original note length, kind of ignoring the fermata, that I put above. Would be realy helpful to implement! You can also just add a Checkbox on wether you should ignore Fermatas in the midi file.

The first track of a MIDI file contains tempo information, which is what a fermata affects when it stretches the entire score's timeline. One could consider it a "system" element in that sense. It doesn't get converted literally into a stretching of a particular note-on event. Neither do tempo texts. Whatever software or hardware you're using must take that tempo information into account, as most DAWs do I'd imagine.
