Am I able to do this in Finale. I have a collection of Drum patterns arranged into Genra's styles and I would like to take the entire batch in a folder say verse drums and have it copy each midi file to a different stave and then I can see the actual rhythmn that is expressed, but I don't seem to be able to do this when I press select and shift it shows that I can select all the files, but only one can be seen at a time. What am I missing?

I don't believe Finale will open multiple files into a dsingle document.

I would combine the MIDI files in my sequencer, butting each on a different MIDI channel for ease in setting up Finale import map.

OR

I would open each file in a seperate Finale document, then copy and paste all of them into one of the documents. This should not take long.
