but it really hinders the work flow and inspiration

That says it all !!!!! I came here 10 years ago thinking the same thing, all I have been doing is fighting (and that's not a joke, very high stress level !) to get things fixed and implemented and a VST made due to crashing of RealBand, so I'll get back in the ring and take another swing.. as I said it's shouldn't be too hard to use:
the dialog Interpret Chords from Midi file in BBW4 and send the chords back to the Plugin.
