Thank you so much, Noel!

1) Yes, RealBand is superior to BIAB in creating harmonies for use in Synthesizer, and this was already pointed out by other users on the Synthesizer V forum. But this excludes Mac users, since RealBand is only Windows.

2) But I was really interested to see your careful analysis of how BIAB gets the lyrics from MIDI and then exports them as text events, instead of lyric events. You have really put your finger on the problem! Do you know if there is a midi utility program that can search&replace event types in a file, ie change all text events to lyric events?

3) If you know of such a program, let me know, and I will search around myself too. In any case, what you found is quite interesting because it confirms that BIAB has all the information it needs to both import and export, but it just stores the lyrics it gets in the wrong place. This makes me think that it can be easily fixed.
