ALL.

(mario please read my last post before this one.)

Rharv and Gordon...thanks for commenting.

its only a suspicion but i created mission1 style demo midi in bb.
ie..type 0 midi....which i then imported into rb event editor.
i noticed lots of bb created control info at front of the test midi type 0 mission mid..

(dont ya love detective work ? just fun to me....lol.)

SOOOO...i am wondering how things would turn out IF after exporting
the midi from bb IF THEN one used an event editor to strip out the control header
control info before the first note on...IF THEN on import to the daw eg s1...
set to 5/4 for the song...all was copacetic.
in summary i'm wondering IF its the front end midi header settings that are causeing confusion for the daw ? rb midi monitor is also usefull for analysing data before the first note on.

NOTE...its very important to ensure after import of the 5/4 midi that INDEED the daw is set to 5/4 and NOT 4/4 default. because all is pear shaped otherwise.

i may be totally out to lunch rharv...but i find it TELLING that the piano roll
in rb showed the correct 5/4 bar divisions BUT not bb...i guess as you said cos
the way 5/4 is handled bar wise in bb per your comment.

mario uses s1 right ?

if i'm correct i would love to know if the mission 5/4 stripped of its front end control
info was then imported into s1 set to 5/4...if then all was copacetic in s1 and matched what i got in rb and reaps viz correct cel divisions.

guys...i'm certainly willing to get egg on my face. it comes with the detective work
territory...lol....so be it....but it looks like to me that importing from bb to reaps or rb
one gets the 5/4 results one expects PROVIDED reaps and rb are set to 5/4 time sig.

NOTE >>> Gordon...you might have hit on something important.
is there any chance that different daw vendors/creators might interpret the midi spec differently ??
if so...this might explain things.

this is fun...lol.

ADDENDUM.

downloading s1 trial right now. will report back.
had to create an account/palava...sigh.

i would be highly interested if a user with both apple and pc would import into
logic pro for example the 5/4 mission midi style from bb...
ie do things in logic pro look as expected ?

happiness.
