In BIAB:
File\Import\Import Chords from Midi File
Shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-I
Alternately, Save your midi file and opening it in BIAB, it should automatically analyze and populate the Chord Chart with the chords from the song.

Hi Navid, The Reharmonist feature found in "Edit | Chords | Auto-generate Chord Reharmonization" is designed to work with a MIDI melody recorded on the Melody or Sololist track (if I'm reading the Help files correctly). From your original post, you have recorded chords on the Melody track and not a melody. How these will be interpreted by the Reharmonist, I do not know. Try it and find out. What I suggest you do before running any of these modifying routines is to save your song file as a MGU file first. Then save a second copy with a slightly different name and work on this second copy. Should you ever need to get back to the original file, it's then just a matter of loading in the first file you saved. If you have recorded a chord progression, Charlie's approach will be a productive one. My thoughts are that rather than using the Reharmonist, it might be more productive for you to use "Edit | Chords | Auto-generate Chord Substitutions". If you've got a second copy of the original file saved, as suggested above (so you don't lose the original recording), I suggest trying all approached and seeing which one gives you the best results. Regards, Noel

Thank you guys very helpful information, I am new to BIAB 2019 used it many year ago then decided it was too complicated for simple tasks so all I am trying to do is record a simple melody line with chords inside BIAB and want to use the backing accompaniment or BIAB great styles/ real tracks to create a simple arrangement so far I am having a little hard time, if I record my MIDI track on melody track and save as midi to clip board and then extract the chords it works ok but if I change style my chords stays but my melody line is gone replaced by the default melody track of the chosen style? is there a way or guide in manual I can refer to? I want to record melody line using chords with my left hand hands so chords and melody line is on same midi channel is there a video guide for this?

Nope, melody stays, chords too, only some times the feel of a selected style doesn't fit regarding tempo. You could then mess with 'half-time' etc, but there might be errors regarding chord changes within a bar.
PS Just tried the reharmonist feature ... fun, though it didn't come up with anything making sense to my ears LoL. Maybe it's more something for the jazzers though.
