I had similar problems with Cakewalk generated MIDI. In fact, Cakewalk
incorrectly played back MIDI files from the Internet that played
correctly with timidity or Rosegarden. I HATED Cakewalk's MIDI and
music notation support. I was only too happy to abandon it and wipe out
my Windows partition. :-)
