ALan,

THis is a common problem.

SUggestion: Download the dkvutils.zip utility set from our file
section (Utilities folder). Place the MIDI files in a folder. Use
the MID2ESEQ utility to covert the MIDI files in that folder to ESEQ
MIDI files. (BEFORE converting, adjust the MIDI file names so that
the first 8 characters are not the same for any two files.) Then
use the Eexplorer utility to index the set and move the files around
so that they play in the order you want, and to alter the file
descriptions that display on the Disklavier controller.

P.S> perhaps one of our members knows of a utility that will allow
you to index the files without converting them to ESEQ.
