I created a keyboard intro to the song I'm working on by creating a .mid file in Finale.

I opened the MIDI file in BIAB, which gave me a song 5 bars long. I edited the song length, added chords, Real Style, etc. Tune sounded pretty good. I changed the MIDI sound of the melody, which was only the 5-bar MIDI file intro, to the electric piano sound I liked. All good.

However, I then generated a similar-sounding electric piano Real Track in a Utility track. Now the .mid file intro won't play. When I look at the notation for the Melody track, the notes are there, but no sound. It's up in the mixer. I even went into the Bar Settings and set that track to "Back To Normal", as other tracks are muted there. No MIDI intro.

I also wanted to paste the same 5-bar MIDI track later on in the tune. How does one do this?
