Bonjour,

I would like to copy a certain number of bars of a MIDI track so as to paste them into a new MIDI track.
I realize that it seems to be impossible.
Has somebody facing this surprising situation ?

Merci
Daniel

You should be able to do that in piano roll view by highlighting the MIDI notes and doing a copy and then a paste in the other track.

Yes, this works, however I found it is much easier to do this in a DAW. YMMV

OK thank you for the feed-back ...

But, i want to copy bars from a MGU file and paste them in another MGU file and that is impossible.......
Paste/copy can be done only within the same MGU file.
Do you have the same understanding ?
That very surprising ...!

Try this, it worked here:
1-in the piano roll view highlight and copy the section you want to move
2-click on file open and load your destination song
3-generate that song
4-in the piano roll view highlight that area you want to replace and click on paste

I hope this helps.

{edit} make sure that those tracks are not frozen

Thank you MarioD for your feed-back ...

Such procedure very simply does not work. You are obliged to paste within the same file.

This was a bit of a surprise to me. So I gave it a quick try. I was able to simply copy and paste between different files if I have two occurrences of BIAB open at the same time and if I was moving the chord chart data.

But, this did not work when I tired to copy the midi data from one file to the other.

Like Mario, I do this in the DAW.

I find this very confusing as I can do it here:

{edit} If you select merge it will add the copied notes to the original notes in the measure(s). If you select replace it will only replace the notes that are being copied, leaving the uncopied notes still in the measure(s).

You almost got me going... I tried to repeat what you are showing. Only thing different was I opened two simultaneous BIAB. It would not paste across the two files.

I know better than to go down this rabbit hole in BIAB. I have been here before. Which is exactly why you and I agree that this is best down in the DAW.

So don't let me stop you guys. Carry on. grin

Sorry Dan, I did not mean to raise your blood pressure like I did grin

It is weird that this works using my method but not when two BiaBs are simultaneously open.

PS I never use this method as I do all of my work in my DAW. Daniel peeked my interest so I experimented and found a way to get it to work for him.

Daniel, did you try my method as outlined in the snap shots?

Bonjour Mario,

Thank you for your explanations ; it works and realistic once in a while but it's quite tedious to use such method in a long process.
Merci encore !

I agree. You really should be able to copy track(s) from one opened BiaB to another opened BiaB.
