I could certainly export the MIDI file to Finale, delete the notes that I don't want, and then export the corrected file to a .mid file, but that would clearly be a major clusterfuck. I'm wondering what the most optimal way would be. As you say, maybe RB is the way to do it.

However, I'm not sure what the point is. Once I've edited the MIDI file, what next? Import it back to BIAB or Real Band? Maybe freeze that track that I edited so that it doesn't get regenerated? It sounds like a lot of work to get around the fact that BIAB interprets "D5" incorrectly.



I am a bit confused. The chart you show with the root-fifth's are all real tracks. That means there is no midi involved here, so nothing to edit. Strictly audio based on what the artist recorded. Apparently, the band did not play any power chords. So ya, you need a different real track set. This is where we usually point to the Wish List, but I don't think that or user tracks are going to satisfy you. Sorry. crazy



Well, then that's a glaring omission then, isn't it? Why would BIAB assign a Real Track that is clearly playing DMaj when the chord cited should be D5? I just picked a style(a number of them, actually) that is supposed to refer to the song that I am inputting. Fire On The Bayou is quite clearly not in a Major key, and although I've specified the key of Dm, it interprets the D5 as Major(?).

Someone screwed the pooch on this one.

However, I can't record my own User Track for playing root-5 diads over D5? So, there is no possible way to create a BIAB track for this one particular song without the completely wrong chords? Seems like a pretty big shortcoming. Type a chord in and the software plays a different chord. Anyone picture a problem with this?
