This imports (using automatic import) as four whole notes each in a
separate bar. It does this both with current master and 2.0.4
Do you get something different?

Do you have some example file which is typical of what you would like to
import?

I have attached a file one example of what I would like to be able to import. It does not seem to have the rhythms correct and it did not set the staff midi properties to channel 10.

Another type of file would have overlapping voices in the same channel. It would be the midi equivalent to you pressing and holding a note in your right hand 1 finger and then simultaneously playing other notes with your other fingers and then finally releasing the held note. I will see if I can dig one of these files up.

 

 

Your current algorithm for automatic import already has some
quantization procedure in it IIRC.

I remember doing something like that. We need a dialog to ask us what will be the smallest note value allowed. Also we have no way to detect triplets I don't think.
