Hi Receder,

Interesting. On my import, all bars showed the second half greyed out, but changing the first bar's "number of beats this bar" to 4 corrected them all.

Yes it played OK, subject to the melody and the style being somewhat at odds with each other.

I use XML because usually it does a better job of importing the chord symbols than if I import MIDI. It looks like I can probably easily enough work around the 2-beat bars, so I'll probably continue with this.

Mostly I flagged it here as I suspect PGM would like to be aware of the oddities, as if there are bugs they should likely fix them sometime. The fact that all three programs behaved differently was curious, and that RB2022 failed to show anything at all seems decidedly remiss. Probably one could import to BiaB, fix, save, and then import the SGU/MGU into RB. Clumsy, though.

I doubt I'd have a use for an image. I didn't bother to attach any as I think the problem should probably look similar for others. I'm just flagging it as an apparent issue.
