Require help please with a VanBasco midi file

Post by George Rout »

I have this nifty Jim Reeves style Mid file "Am I Losing You". It's in the Key of Bb. I would like to change it to the Key of D. I've tried to "open" it in BIAB, but nothing happens. I've never had any success in changing the Keys of Midi files, but that was a couple of years ago.

Can anybody help please. I can't attach it here, but I can email it.

File > Import Chords from MIDI file... >

Click [Open (Change)] in upper right to select the MIDI file, then click [INTERPRET CHORDS NOW] in lower left.

Change the key as normal in the main window
