Unfortunately, it appears that Home Concert Extreme is somehow not compatible with MIDI files from BIAB. I sent a sample Midi File from the "BB Extras" folder to someone who has HCX, and he tried playing it (using his iPad version, since he was having problems with his laptop), and HCX wouldn't recognize the file. He said that I would need to add some kind of specific "markers" to the MIDI file to somehow separate the right and left hand parts, and I don't know how to do that.

In addition, I'm having problems converting files created by the BIAB Audio Chord Extractor to MIDI. I simply can't get BIAB to create a MIDI file from these extractions. I was hoping to convert some audio recordings to MIDI files that would be compatible with HCX in this way, but no dice so far.

For $99, HCX would have been a great deal IMO - had it worked with the files I want to use.
