Good Day,

My first attempt at importing MIDI. I wrote a piano arrangement in MuseScore 3 of the Beatles 'Yesterday' I exported the file in MIDI. I opened BIAB 2021, and filled in the chords from my arrangement and chose a style. I imported the MIDI file as Soloist, and it plays as was written in BIAB. My problem is when I press Play the Soloist track begins, but the Style does not start playing until the 3rd bar of the Soloist part, and the Style plays from Bar 1 of the chord sheet.(What a racket!) This happens with both MIDI Styles and Real Styles, and with the imported MIDI as Melody or Soloist. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Steve McDonald

When you're importing MIDI there are a couple of entries on the import dialog:
"Number of bars to offset from start of MIDI File"
and
"Number of bars to insert at the beginning"

One of those should fix it. The second, I think, probably wants 2 in it, to push the MIDI past BiaB's count-in pars.

Thanks Gordon. This makes sense to me. I did observe but did not mention that the drum track starts with the Soloist track which is the count in you mentioned. I will try what you suggest when I get home later.
