I have successfully saved an all RT song as midi then opened the midi file in BIAB and the chords were there. I have read comments saying it doesn't work for all RT songs, so maybe I had MIDI somewhere in the project without knowing it.

In that case, here is a quick way to add a MIDI track to an all-RT song so it can be exported as MIDI:

1) audition your styles in BIAB to find one that has strings with sustained chords (many string styles play the chords). Write down the name of the style if you are as forgetful as I am.

2) open your RB project

3) use the style picker to make the style you just found the active style

4) right click on an empty track, and make sure that track type = MIDI

5) right click on the track again and pick SELECT WHOLE TRACK (or CTRL-A)

6) at top of program, click the [GENERATE] button

7) from the dropdown menu, pick GENERATE MIDI TRACK

8) from the next dropdown menu pick STRINGS


the chords will then be added to a midi track. Then when you SAVE AS MIDI, the chords will be saved in the file in such a way that BIAB can retrieve them when you OPEN MIDI FILE


This is also a good way to add chords to an all RT song for use with a vocal processor. I've created a style with nothing but one sustained chord part and named it VOCALIST so I don't have to search for a good style with sustained chords every time.
