I have a MIDI file I am trying to import to Band in a Box 2013. The accompanying screen shot shows the first four bars. This is a hymn (Nearer my God to Thee) in typical four part harmony. As you can see, the bottom two notes of most chords need to be in the bottom or bass clef.

The problem I am facing is that at present I don't know how to get it to do an intelligent split of the voices into a treble and bass clef. The file comes in all in the Melody track. I suppose, it needs to make it to the Piano track eventually. Y/N?

I'm just wondering what the easiest way of doing this is. Will BB make an intelligent guess at the split point. Will it import to the piano track. If not, can I copy stuff from the melody track to the piano track.
Will Band in a Box read music XML (.mxml) or some other generic file format? Or, is it possible when creating the MIDI file to tell it ahead of time which notes should be in which clef?

It would be a real boon if I can easily bring in MIDI files with easy to handle split points. Can I?
