The most reliable method is this:

1. Create a new score with a piano grand staff.

2. Without closing the first score, Open the MIDI file through the normal open 
dialog.  Just OK the dialog, which will probably be grumbling about instruments 
not matching.

This should create a new score with two staves, one with the left hand part and 
the other with the right.  Don't worry if they aren't linked as a grand staff, 
or even if the play back sounds are wrong.

3. Copy all of the left hand part to the clipboard.

4. ControlTab to the other score and paist the selection into the Piano (b) 
stave.

5. ControlTab back to the MIDI score and do the same for the right hand.

If you do it this way you won't have to worry about setting break points in 
Sonar.  In fact, if you do this, you will almost certainly get some very 
strange results.  For instance, you may find that your single stave, left hand 
part, has now turned into a two stave effort, which will be a pig to clean up.

Hope this helps,

Dan

  I forgot what dave carlson told me a while back. I did record the left and 
right hand parts on separate tracks. Am I then suppose to put them together? 
When Opening the file in sib, I think I was to set a break point at c3? How do 
I go about doing that? If it's to hard to write it all down, I'd be happy to 
call.
