Actually, MIDI files do not have chords programmed into them in a standard manner. The chords are not part of the MIDI standard.

When you load a MIDI file into BIAB, the chord grid you seet is actually created by the MIDI Chord Wizard. Sometimes it gets it right, sometimes it doesn't. There are often problems if the timing of the MIDI file don't align to measure boundaries (think just recording your own playing with a MIDI keyboard and not using a click-track - the MIDI file sounds right, but nothing is aligned properly).

The only caveat to this is if the MIDI file was originally created by BIAB, then it saves the chord progression in a proprietary manner that BIAB, PowerTracks, and RealBand understands.

The chord wizard for audio files is the ACW (Audio Chord Wizard).
