Hi experts!
more and more programs are working with chord sheet or chord tracks (e.g. BiaB, Cubase, Toontrack EZKeys and EZBass). I most likely start building a song in BiaB. Is there any chance to "copy" the BiaB chord sheet into Cubase or Toontrack?

Thanks in advance

You could try File > Save Special.. > Save Song as MusicXML file and just choose to save the Chords.

Then in your DAW, Open the Music XML file.

(Disclaimer: I haven't done this and don't know what the results might be) wink

Thanks Video Track,
importing an XML file into Cubase leads to to several MIDI tracks, not a chord track frown

I can answer this with confidence. The answer is YES. I do it all the time, but it ain't pretty (meaning it ain't drag and drop like it should be and like what has been asked for here in the forum for a long time). You will find lots of old treads discussing this also some videos which show how it is done. If you are really interested in this I can walk you through it. But before I reinvent the wheel please first search the forum (chords, EZkeys) for this info or confirm you really want to go there. Or check out the menu options below. I would be glad to illustrate the process if you need.

Hi Music Student!
I´ve done some search in the forum and on youtube as well, but did not get a clou...
I would realy appreciate if you could guide me through the process.

BTW: I already said this here and it´s time to say it again:
The way members of this forum help and support each other is outstanding. I often see "seniors" in other forums bashing at "juniors", and the most often used answer is: "RTFM" (read th f#####ng manuel)
This forum and their members seems to be much more mature!

Thanks

THANKS A LOT!!
that works like charme

And on top: if you use slash chords and import them into EZBass, it plays the correct bass notes.
Importing into cubase works as well.
Now I only have to figure out, how to get the chords into melodyne5...

In Melodyne under edit/chords and keys click on use DAW chords. I know this works with Studio One Pro.


Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
