Thanks for replies, fellows.

Opening MIDI files from an "Open With" command, RB naturally plunks them into the first few tracks, where Mac explains that BB tracks (requiring chords) go. There seems no way to change that. Yes, the chord-concoction is entirely quick enough, if you need chords.



In Tracks View there are two buttons above the Tracksnames, "BB" and "User".

Hitting "User" will put the "regular" tracks at the top. Then load the MIDI file.

There must also be a global setting there somewhere, for when I simply open my copy of RealBand, which is set not to load anything like the previous song, it automatically comes up in User mode, with the black tracks at the top.

At any rate, I've been using RB exclusively for the past couple of years to do everything that I once did in Powertracks, because it can. An excellent MIDI editor, the same one that is in Powertracks. Your problems are only caused by a need to learn how to deal with the extra auto-accompaniment feature -- or not -- as needed. Help files may be useful here.
