I just provided some examples of how it might be addressed. I don't know how, or if it will be.

I suspect what chords are played in each RealTracks audio file is known. The Band-in-a-Box and RealBand programs HAVE to know where to go in an audio file to extract the desired chord. I suspect the information is contained in the bt1 & bt2 files that accompany each audio file.

I'm hoping PG Music decides they can create a utility program that converts bt1 data to text data. Then they can save the converted text data as a text file or import the data as chords into a SGU file. Finally create another program to copy all the text or SGU files into the correct RealTracks folders.

Once the process is complete the copy program and new files can be combined into an installation file and published. That would take care of all RealTracks released to date. Future RealTracks can have these files added to the correct folders as part of the RealTracks creation process.

That's an outline of what I would like to happen. Who knows if it will or can happen.
