Hi,

The issue of imported melody alignment (getting it out of the lead-in and starting with bar 1 instead) was addressed here:

Summary: Settings exist to allow importing a melody to the correct starting position, but it may require experimentation to accomplish.

As the OP here, I'll comment that Dan's experiment of starting with the melody and building the chords around it was the opposite of the path that got me into this. IOW, I had a chord progression and wanted to add an existing MIDI melody to it.

To me, both approaches are valid use cases.

I could have posted an unknown melody as the test case, but then no one could really tell for sure if it came in correctly or not.
