I scanned several negatives into a single multi-page TIFF. In Lightroom 3.6, only the first page appears. Can Lightroom handle multi-page TIFFs directly, or do I need to convert the file first?

You could use ImageMagick to convert the tiff to multiple files then they will open fine in Lightroom
convert multipage.tif single%d.tif

Lightroom 3 does not handle multi-page TIFFs as separate images; it will only show the first page. If you want to work with all pages in Lightroom, you’ll need to split the multi-page TIFF into individual image files first.
One suggested method is ImageMagick, for example:
convert multipage.tif single%d.tif
That will create separate TIFF files, which Lightroom can then import normally.
