Thanks to all of you, I am beginning to have fun with Midi, I don't know waht I am doing, but its fun experimenting. I have another question, this time about real tracks. I want to make a real track start playing on beat3 instead of beat one. I tried the push feature in the chord settings, but it does not quite work. Ideally I would like only a drum fill on beat 3 and 4 before the other instruments come in on the next bar.

Oom, on beat one of your first measure type N., on the third beat of the first measure type N.D. N in your chord name so if your's is a C you would type C.(that is a dot or period) on beat one and C.D on the third beat. N. mean a rest and N.D means rest all instruments except the Drums. I hope this helps. PS - under help/index search for add breaks for more detailed information.
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

I'm back on track, midi wise. Would that be a pun? Actually I am not yet midi wise, but I have been able to download a midi file from the internet (still Ring of Fire) and I got close to the trumpet sound that I want. I even managed to import only the trumpets into the melody file (ovation please!); but now, when I load a real style it seems impossible to match the tempos. The midi tempo is exactly what I want, but the real styles won't "sync". Trying to adjust the tempo results in adjusting both the real styles as well as the midi. I know, I know, Band in a box is not a DAW, but I am convinced that something seemingly so fundamental would be easy to get right in BAIB.
As always, most grateful for all the advise and tips from the wonderful people on this forum (maybe that sounds a bit korny, bit it is heartfelt)

The midi trumpets likely have a varying tempo because it sounds more human that way.
One way is to import the complete midi file and have Band-in-a-Box analyze the midi file. It should populate the chords and create a tempo map.

Well, here is an update on my progress:
I have managed to make a tune with my mini midi controller. I have had to use the controller's software because I could not find a way in BIAB to make the controller sound when I press the key, not after supper. I then managed to get the midi file onto the melody track in BIAB and used the notation editor to adjust the time and notes and... anyway getting that far took hours! The melody time kept shifting; it seems when you save you have to choose the "save patches....etc.
Then I got an MGU file which I was happy with and, like always, exported to MP3. which is my preferred format for backing tracks and Lo and Behold......there is no melody.
Imagine my dismay?
Now, please, how can I convince Band in a box that the melody track which contains the midi tune, is part of the backing track?

I have a keyboard controller that plugs into the USB of my PC and I have Band in a box, and that is how much I know of Midi

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?
