I don't have the program, but if you mean that chords come out slanted
instead of straight down the staff the answer is simple.  MIDI is not a
parallel interface -- it is serial.  Therefore, each note-on/note-off must
come through one at a time even if you play chords.  What most programs
do is quantize the notes.  This lines everything up although I'm sure it
could make mistakes.

I'd be surprised if DMCS doesn't have such a feature.
