Steve,  the advantage in using the MultiTrak is that it has an AutoCorrect
setting, variable from 8ths, through 16ths, triplet-8ths and 16ths, to
"non-corrected", so I usually make one pass through each of the voices with
autocorrection set at 8ths, then recycle the sequence for 16ths, then
uncorrected, if needed.  I suspect that autocorrection only works for the
starts of notes (and not their ends), though, but I'll have to wait to
see the ProCompo file to know for certain.  As I mentioned in my original
posting, "Performer" only traps a single voice at a time.  I'm really
looking for a program that'll trap up to six.

Needless to say, I'm not surprised at the treatment you got in Daly City.
Too bad, though.
