Hi Everyone.
I have a MIDI file for a guitar solo.... that I have just imported into BIAB (2011 for now, I have not loaded up my 2012 upgrade yet). I also have the paper copy of the music sheet showing the notes and the TABs for the song.
Since the Midi file did not use the Channels 11 to 16 (as is customary for guitar tabs) to specify the position of each finger on the fretboard as shown on the paper copy... I get a totally different set of TABs when I view the file in BIAB's notation window.
With me so far? LOL
The long way to fix it is to do it manually and assigning the correct channel for each note one at a time... but that's insanely tedious work.
Another way I just discovered is if I open the Virtual Guitar Fretboard window... then I can click on one of the numbers at the bottom of the fretboard corresponding to the "position" on the fretboard i.e. 3rd position, 4th position etc., until I found a position that matches the TABs shown on my paper copy. I am guessing this the correct way to do it (I can see a lot of the TABs match correctly but I haven't checked every single measure to be absolutely sure!) But is this the only way?
Assuming this is it... I don't see a way to SAVE this information in the BIAB file.. as no matter how I save my file, next time I open it I find the notes have revertered back to their original position.
Anyone has an idea how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Once you set the tab positions manually, they should stay where you put them, at least the do for me, assuming you save the file first. However, if you are changing positions on the fretboard, the little white box (movable by clicking under the note) under each note on the lower E string, that will change you tab positions. Hope this works for you.

Thanks David. I know the first part works, and I don't have a problem with that.
My problem is when I want to save the position doing it the second way... using the fretboard. This is the case with midi files not using the channels 11-16, and editing each note one at a time would be too time consuming.

Don't know if this helps, but you can click the .seq (Biab) button to re-channel the imported midi file parts to use 11-16, if that is what you are wanting to do?
The .seq button is handy for assigning midi data parts, patches, channels etc . . .
