(sometimes accidents are the best composition tool you have!)

Seriously, I use Sonar daily (not the old cakewalk) and have imported
into Rosegarden with <pretty much> no problem. I say <pretty much>
because I do hear a difference in how the two realize the midi file --
they just sound different. Pitch bends are the easiest to notice. But,
I'm not saying one is right over the other. Sonar has some problem
playing wheel data -- especially in short midi pieces (the playback is
not consistent from playback to playback)
