Being tired of typing in chord and lyrics, I bought SmartScore Song version.. I can se it does a decent job... The problem is BiaB. When I import the exported midi file in Biab, the chords become wrong, AS IF the correct chords, that Smart Score have read from the PDF score, are just overlooked.. BUT, when I export as XML, and import that to BiaB, the chords are correct.. What is NOT correct then, is the time signature.. The file I scanned today to test it was a plain 4/4 simple song and BiaB imported it as 2/4, so that mess up the correct chords also, by being correct in the BARS according to the score, but wrong to the notes, since the song been imported as 2/4 instead of 4/4...
So this become a lot of mess for me.. BiaB cannot import 2/4 midi songs, BUT when it is served a 4/4 song as XML, THEN it gives a 2/4.. What the heck????
So my question is; Is there a way to import Midi files with the CORRECT chords that obliviously IS there? Without BiaB try to reinterpret the chords?

Trygve,
After reading Pipeline's answer above, I thought I'd try BIAB's bar settings. What seemed to work for me was to set bar settings for bar 1 and change the "2" in the "# beats this bar" to zero.
I didn't scroll through the whole song but it looked to work for the first few bars.
Regards, Noel
Pipeline: thank you for the lesson in XML. I haven't played around with this before and I didn't realise it could be opened in notepad.

Wow ! Thank's a lot Pipeline! This is so good to know for next time.. But it must be something wrong with the export in SmartScore, don't u think? I tested some files in another PDF to midi/XML, the PDFtoMusic Pro, from Myriad, and that program did not do the same mistake, so perhaps I will buy also that... Running a trial only, limitied to ONE page PDF...

You are a genius Joel ! THAT worked perfectly, and so quick and easy to do.. Thank's a lot.. That would never ever come to my mind...;)

Trygve, please outline for me all the steps you go through to successfully scan in sheet music and import into BIaB. I'm a newbie and struggling with this functionality. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Music XML is very readable if you've ever worked with code, just terribly wordy.
Videotrack's comment may have been overlooked: the MIDI standard does not include chord symbols. That's why you will do better to export from Smart Score as Music XML and not MIDI.

Thanks. Glevideo, welcome to the forum. Your question received a few answers (including mine) in the other forum, so please check that. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=75338&Number=528550#Post528550 Also, you'll do better in the future to start a new thread so we can concentrate on just your question.

Thank you, Matt and others. I guess there's not a real easy button for this one. I'll look into MuseScore or perhaps roll up my sleeves and start to tackle manual note by note entry and see if I can then bring all three lines of music together and make sense of it. Thanks again. Gary

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."
