Chapter 4: MIDI File Chord Interpretation Wizard30
Other Settings for the Chord Wizard
Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks Pro Audio songs contain special events that
write the exact chord names into the MIDI file. So if the Chord Wizard sees
these events, it will use them instead of interpreting the chords, since they are
likely to be completely accurate. If you'd prefer the Chord Wizard to ignore
these chord events, set the “OK to use PG Music Chord names from MIDI
File” to false.
The setting for “Write Chord Summary Notes to Soloist Track” is only used
for diagnostic or special purposes. When set, the Soloist track will contain a
special track which has a chord written every 2 beats (or whatever the setting
for chord resolution is) that contains every note found for the chord. This
shows you the type of logic that the Chord Wizard is basing its decisions on. If
you encounter a song that gives incorrect results for the chords, you can try this
setting and then examine the Soloist track to see the actual notes of the chords.
Chord-stepping through the track (using [Ins] and [Del] on the Numpad) allow
you to quickly hear the chords.
You can optionally include controllers, pitch bend, patch changes and lyrics
from the MIDI file.
