Hi Pat, I just opened BIAB and used the midi button right above the song title window to save my song as a midi file. When I open the midi window I have a choice of savin it to the clipboard or to disk. You probably want to save it to disk for your purposes.

Andy, thanks is this feature on the 2007 version of BIAB? if not I will have to upgrade. I haven't messed with BIAB yet as i have my disk mis-placed some where in my random piles of software I have accumulated over the last 14 years. Thanks for the heads up if I have any trouble I will get back in touch with you thanks Pat

Pat, I have version 2009.5 and I'm gonna guess that your version has this feature too. Maybe someone with an earlier version can chime in here with a definite answer for you.

Andy, Thanks for your help. I found my mis-placed software. and it turnned out to be the 2005 version of BIAB. I was able to do what I wanted with the exception of some of the tracks are not the complete songs. Im sure there is a way to copy and past to make the songs longer but I am new to this and have no idea what to do. is there some video out there on the net that shows you what is what on this? Thanks Pat
