I had the same problem. I can open it and play it with Cakewalk Home Studio 2002. However, there are problems. I can't get the piano part to play properly on the Disklavier. I told Cakewalk to play Track 9, which is the piano part on Channel 1 so it would play on my piano. It only plays some of the notes. I tried to open the tracks in Staff view but it would not open. I got an error message that said "The Staff View cannot handle meters that are longer than 16 quarter notes." I noticed that on the piano roll view, there were no pedal commands and that the notes are held very long. This was clearly made for midi equipment that cannot handle sustain pedal commands. Another site that has a lot of midi files with this same sustain problem is parlorsongs.com Too bad, it's just no good for Diskalviers. Maybe you could contact the Sciortino guy and ask him if it can be fixed somehow. I would be interested in how you make out with this.
I would like to take a look at this file. What is the url?
Thanks,
