I found a problem yesterday when using "File-Save Special- Save Song(s) to Text on Clipboard or File(s)" routine.

I did a bluegrass/rock version of Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead. It's in the key of G with 236 measures In the song. I have drum fills at various measures and I also started fading the song at the end.

When I exported the song as a text file, it is noted in Song Summary that:

1. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
2. Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes

See below for the full summary.

****** Song Summary *************
Title: Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead
File:Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead.SGU
Key=C , Tempo 145, Length (m:s)=6:33
No intro. 236 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 236. Repeat x1 chorus
Melody has 1974 notes, Melody harmony is < no harmony >(0)
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes,
Style is _COVE.STY (Cove East Coast Songwriter)

When I then create a new SGU file using the previously exported text file I find the following changed from the original song I made a few days ago.

1. None of the drum fills show up in the imported song.
2. None of the ending bars starting at bar 229 are fading out as it ends even though it says in the summary that "Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes"
3. None of the previous Volume settings are saved even though it says in the summary that "Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0".

To make it simple, I have placed the original SGU file, the text imported SGU file and the exported text file here so you can test it yourself.

NOTE: You may or may not have that style depending on which BIAB package you have.
