Thanks again Sherry. I suppose Composer must be using its own internal format for chord symbols as they do not appear in an an exported midi file as lyrics do. There is a way round this ...... diplay chords as lyric events on a separate track. So in a way this solve the problem. The chords as well as lyrics will them be imorted and exported exported in a midi file format. Martin.

Hi Martin,

Yes, Notation Software products use a special field for chord names because they are musically tied to the score. If you edit the key of the score, for instance, the chord names will be updated accordingly. However, these musical chord names are stored only in the .not file format. The standard MIDI format does not have such a "tied" field. The workaround to have an option in our products to include the chord names as a separate lyric field in exported .mid files is indeed on the "wish list" of future features

ttfn,
Sherry
