Thanks Culfy - good description. So it sounds like you have imported a midi file with various instruments, piano, sax, and drums all merged into one track, melody, and all on one channel. You then manually moved the bass to the soloist track - good start. Now you need to get the drum out of there. You have two problems. One, how to efficiently select and move the drum notes, and two, find a place to put them. BIAB only has two tracks that you can control, melody and soloist, and you already have them used up. The next step is to utilize one of those in "sequencer" mode which lets you separate notes by channel and play polyphonically from them.

I don't see a way to do One in BIAB. It's not real strong in multiple select. The only place to do that is in the PRV, and I don't see a way to change the channel from there. BUT maybe someone else can help with this.

So now a new question. What do you want to do with this song? Usually when I bring in a midi file I end up keeping the melody, and let BIAB do the rest of the band. I use the original midi band parts to help me adjust or cipher the chords. With the chords in the chord sheet window, I then mute the original band parts. Unless you are trying to "capture" the bass or drum parts, this may be an approach for you. But, let us know what you are trying to do with this song and that will help.
