Apologies if this has been covered before - couldn't find anything with search.
I use Jukebox in BIAB to play a series of songs - I have the melody muted (as I am going to play that), BIAB plays the accompaniment and I use the Leadsheet to display the melody track and chords. In other words I am using BIAB a bit like a Fake Book that gives auto accompaniment.
Now I want to do the same with Midi files (I have created many over the years), and have come up with the following:
1.Jukebox doesn't do midi files in BIAB, so I need to convert them to a BIAB file first
2.Currently I am loading them in, moving the melody track to soloist (Leadsheet, Opt, Set, Edit), muting the soloist track and displaying the leadsheet just for soloist track
(Would be much easier if Jukebox played midi and midi load gave you option to isolate melody track)
Anyone got a better / easier method?

Hello Parmstro, Maybe this will be helpful: Keyboard shortcuts for converting a MIDI file to Band-in-a-Box song file: - Press F7 (load MIDI file) - Press F2 or Ctrl+S (Save song) - it will automatically be saved as a .MGX file, which is a Band-in-a-Box song file with multichannel melody. Once you have the songs saved as .MGX files, you can load them by pressing F3. Then, use the Sequencer Window to display only the Melody track in the Leadsheet window, and mute it at the same time. Click the green SEQ button in the toolbar and select 'sequencer on melody track'. Then, check the boxes as in the screenshot below. (In this example, the melody is the 'voice ooh's' on channel 4).
