Hi. No program can import chords from a MIDI file because the MIDI standard does not include chord data. The best a program can do is load the file and try to interpret the chords. BIAB guesses well most of the time.

I’m surprised the rhythm of the chords isn’t accurate, though. Is there a Melody track? If not, consider adding one to your original file with some dummy quarter notes (or maybe even whole notes) so the start of the measure is clearly defined. See how BIAB imports that, then delete the Melody track.

Music XML would be a better choice, if it’s available for you to save your file in that format instead of MIDI.
