Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply. I have never really "worked" with Midi on the 7000, I always saved everything to Technics files, so I'm a total "noobie" to all of this. I get your point that there could be a lot of superfluous notation that would have to be edited out. After all of this, I may end up with notation paper and a sharp pencil, lol...and then I'd never be able to do the drum chart anyway. It's too bad that there isn't some type of notation program that can work reliably with an MP3, I guess it just hasn't been developed (yet).
