When I load a midi file into PT2015, it inserts an unwanted 1/8 note rest at the start of bar one. As a result, the notation for the entire song is shifted to the right (delayed) by 1/8 beat. The notes of each measure don't start on the downbeat. I'd be grateful, please, for any advice on how to get rid of the unwanted initial 1/8 rest in the notation. Many thanks.

Update: I just found a way to fix the problem. In Piano Roll view, right click on the note area and "select all notes". Then hover cursor to the left of any note and you will see the left-right movement arrows. Then, while holding down "Shift", use the left mouse button to drag the ensemble of notes to the left.

Thank you, rharv...much appreciated!

Before I saw your reply, I discovered the following alternative method. (Your method sounds easier, though.) In Piano Roll view, right click on the note area and "select all notes". Then hover cursor to the left of any note and you will see the left-right movement arrows. Then, while holding down "Shift", use the left mouse button to drag the ensemble of notes to the left.

In Tracks View you can also highlight a selection, hold CTRL and click/drag them around.

You can also look at the "Slide MIDI Music" command to slide a specific range right or left on the time line a specified number of ticks. There is also a data filter to select which MIDI events get slid (for example, just note values).

.. I believe John's suggestion is under the Edit menu, in case you want to try that route.

Lots of ways to do it, depends on your workflow and what screen you are on when you decide you want to move something.

The basic thing to remember is to make sure you select all the data you want to move before moving it, whichever way you do it.
Missing a piece can cause extra work.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
