It should be possible in MIDI. They already do it for bass.


I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is not so. Go to the piano roll view in Biab and you can raise a bass as high as you want, thus taking it way out of a normal bass's range.

I can just barely hit that highest note in Penny Lane, and I only play piccolo trumpet at Christmas. If someone practices that little beast of an instrument regularly, they could own that note, and a composer like me should be able to write it.


I'm glad you figured that out and got it working the way you want it to work.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
