Hello, reviewing the documentation about the MIDI format in Tuxguitar, when importing this type of file, the following problem could occur:
"Some MIDI files on the Internet are recordings of musicians playing a MIDI-capable instrument (e.g. a keyboard). However, a human being is not a perfect metronome, especially if the musician brings in his or her own mood and feeling. Such interpretations can be very pleasant to listen to, but do not fit well into the very strict framework of a music score. In such a case, you should not be surprised if you find very unusual rhythm patterns in the imported files: very short notes or rests in surprising places, 7- or 11-tuplets, inconsistent tied notes, etc."
This issue can be resolved by applying MIDI quantization in Ardour, exporting the file, and then importing it into TuxGuitar.
I recorded this process for my own reference, and thought I'd share it in case others find it helpful.
