Hi Wrkinit,

If you explore the Options found in the Leadsheet view, you can find a place where you can enter some text that will appear at the top left corner of a songsheet when printed. Originally meant as a place where we can put the usual informations such as Arranger, or Writer, or even some Tempo hints perhaps, I have used it in order to Print a short textline that will appear right there, before the Intro bars, as it were.

As for the Finale MIDI file chords vs the BiaB MIDI file chords, here's the deal:

Unfortunately, when the MIDI standard was devised, the developers did not include any type of data for the Chords. As softwares developed, each one came up with their own method of making fake chords happen. This means that moving a MIDI file from one software to another usually doesn't get those pesky chords correct, as there is no data that the second program can recognize. PGMusic products derive the chords using the MIDI note data from the song tracks. This can sometimes lead to identifying the underlying fake chord as having extensions that are not desired as the Wizard can only look at the stack of notes at a given beat and extrapolate the name of the chord that infers. For example, you may have a song in which the fake chord is a simple C Major chord, but the notes in the MIDI file at that beat also include maybe the Bb and the D as well as the C, E, and G of the C Major triad. That can lead to the program wizard identifying the full note stack as a chord, in this case, "C9" when what you really need is just a C there. Our only option is to go back through the chords imported in a file and manually correct them. Not that big a deal, certainly not a kill, as you already have the correct chords in the Finale version to refer to.
