MIDI format1 I believe saves each track to a separate channel automatically, midi format0 doesn't. But even then, some players take the format0 and temporarily convert it to format 1 to use it as indevidual tracks, and then they resave it as format0. What exactly are you trying to do? I used sonar for my music theory courses, to record instruments then edit them in the event view and then print out for other musicians to perform my compositions.

The problem I'm having is both with Sibelius and Sonar. I don't know how to export a Sibelius file as MIDi on two channels, and I don't know how to import MIDi into Sonar so that the two staves come in on two different channels. Any ieas? -----Original Message----- From: sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sib-access-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 4:30 PM To: sib-access@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sib-access] Re: Clarification to my MIDI grand staff request K, All I can suggest is to add two keyboard staves to the score. Then delete the bass clef from one and the treble clef from the other. Then cut/paste the relevant parts to the two separate staves. Then export. That should give you the separate tracks. If we had access to the mixer and MIDI channel parameters we might have been able to do this by assigning a different MIDI channel to each of the grand staff staves.

If I could export the score I have to a two track MIDI file and edit it in Sonar, I'd like to reimport it so that it came in on two staves without having to factor in a split point since that's floating. Thanks for any help.
