MIDI files that contain certain timing element issues, such as the Bass "leading" the beat, or perhaps "laying back" on the beat can easily confuse the wizard, as it is looking for events that happen more or less ON the beat. For example, I have some rather nice jazz MIDI files with walking bass and that can be problematic.

Other MIDI files, the creator may have paid no attention whatsoever to Tempo setting, Key Signature setting and may not have even played with the MIDI metronome, or if Step Entered from say PianoRoll view without regard to time, bars, etc. leaving a mess that may sound wonderful but has little real resemblance to music when the notation is viewed. It can be very difficult to try to edit and correct such files sometimes. They are typically worth what you paid for them.

If you want to see if something has changed in the wizard's operation, simple enough to accomplish, try loading a very simple MIDI file and see what it comes up with.
