I don't think you can do it directly, but I believe you can do it via the midi import in the melody (and soloist) menu.

You'll need to make sure that the MIDI files are on different channels in each MIDI file and make note of which channel (just indicate that in the MIDI file name).

Select "Melody, Edit Melody, Import Melody from MIDI File".

Select the file to import and click OK.

Select the channel you want to import and import the first MIDI file.

Repeat for each subsequent file, however, in the import dialog box will be a selection called "Merge with existing data on track". Make sure this is checked, so you don't overwrite the files already imported.

Note that you have other options in this dialog box:

* Number of bars to offset from the start of MIDI file: this allows you to specify the start location within the MIDI file to start importing. Leave it at zero for the beginning of the file.

* How many bars to import: keep this at some high number to import the entire file. The default is 1000, which is plenty, since BIAB only support 255 bars anyway.

* # blank bars to insert at beginning: this one is tricky. If the MIDI file starts right away, then insert a "2" here, otherwise, it will start playing during the count-in. If your file has 2-bar count-in contained in the MIDI file, then enter "0", or "1" for a 1-bar count-in.

Just play with it and you'll get the hang of it.

Once all is done, you may need to go into the Sequencer option (the green button on the toolbar that says SEQ) and re-channel some of the instruments, so as not to interfere with your BIAB track channels.

Standard MIDI channels used by BIAB tracks are:

Bass - channel 2
Piano - channel 3
Drums - channel 10
Guitar - channel 6
Strings - channel 7
Melody - channel 4
Soloist - channel 8
Thru - channel 5

This gives you (assuming you are not using harmonies or separate guitar channels) channels 1, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 to use for other instruments. Remember, each of your parts will all be on the Melody TRACK (don't confuse channels with tracks). The Melody and Soloist tracks are special in that they can be multi-channel. The accompaniment tracks each only use one channel.

Hope that helped some.
