Carl, is your Disklavier connected to speakers? If not, it is  
possible that MIDI tracks are playing but you are not hearing them  
because none of them are playing on the piano itself.

If that is not the problem, please tell us more. For example:

--Do these problem MIDI files show up on the Disklavier display?

--Does the Disklavier display act as though it is playing the files?

There are more questions to be asked based on your answers.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
