Hi Fellows and Gals.
Got this workflow issue, was hoping somebody could help me with.
Loaded midi song in BIAB to see what RT/RDs will play with it well.
"chord extraction" was not very precise, so I re-typed all of it.
Now, having all the chords laid out and bar changes, I noticed that I need to add some bars and make changes to the midi outside BIAB... I use a separate program for making midi arrangements. Is it possible to delete and replace the midi file that was originally opened in BIAB without touching the chord grid or bar changes that are already in place?
This is not a one time deal for me, so looking for a proper way to do this as a part of a workflow.
I thank you in advance!
Misha.

Was a bit impatient with it, so called tech support. It was super simple, you (I) just have to: 1) select all bars (including bar changes, etc) copy 2) open new midi file 3)paste I do not know how I overlooked that, it was right under my nose  It would be a nice option to be able to save just chord grid, with all bar changes, parts etc, but without the style or midi. Heading to "request" section.

Misha,
That is a simple, elegant solution. I hope you will take time to post PG Music's answer in the Tips and Tricks forum section.
You're right. The answer is there once you know the answer but it is not immediately obvious while searching menu selections.

Jim, kind of elegant... there is no option to save that "elegance" (posted request at wishing well) BIAB allows to do this only when both Target->Source are active. P.S. It was right under my nose, but even speaking with tech support took well over 20 minutes to figure it out I will write it up to tips&tricks within next few days. Misha.

Hi Misha,
You can also use File - Import - Import MGU File, and uncheck everything except Chords.
Thanks

Kent, pipeline suggested that When you do it this way, you loose bar changes and other good stuff. But...when you have an active project, with bar changes, etc., and do this: 1)Copy all bars 2)Open new midi file 3)paste You do not loose these bar changes... And I am not really sure if it is a bug or a feature request. How is this important? To me it is like this: When I work with midi file in BIAB that was not created in BIAB... If in the middle of the project I need to edit that original midi file outside BIAB, there is no mechanism to preserve all the things that were done in BIAB (chord changes, bar changes, part makers etc.) and just replace initial midi "A" file with edited "B" file. Thankfully, copy->paste works, but it would make sense to have check box in "MGU" import that would allow to import bar changes and other items with chords. P.S. Almost ready for Tips&Trips
