...when importing a midi file into the Style Wizard and letting it analyze..


In regard to MIDI chords from files, what you describe maybe able to be fine-tuned using "Import chords from MIDI file" under the File menu. In my opinion, a good starting point would be to set the chord resolution (as highlighted) to 4 beats. (See image below.)



Also, if you click on "Help" at the bottom of the above dialogue box, it will explain the various parameters in much more detail. To my way of thinking, the biggest single parameters that would control your chord output would be: (a) knowing the song's key; (b) setting a resolution for the chords (e.g. 2 beats, 4 beats, etc.); {c} knowing which MIDI channel carried the melody so that this could potentially be excluded from the analysis of the underlying harmony.

As you have already noted, results will vary; sometimes they will be spot on and sometimes not. The reason for this is that music analysis is not always able to be an exact science.

Hope this information helps,
Noel
