Not sure of exactly your setup, but have you thought about using the Playlist option with Composer? You could have all your songs in a list that you can select from at need. Just a thought.

The Roland BK-7M contains all its prepared songs in a USP file called “My Performances” and each song is an independent performance of its own.. It will not accept an internal midi file ( which I have tried ) to change from one song (Performance) to another, however , it will accept a midi change from an external source. If this was from a keyboard it would be a case of one button for each song !! this would not be feasible.
I realize that I was clasping at straws when I looked at the possibility of my Notation Composer to come to the rescue. I have scoured the net upside down to try and find a program, which as an external source will take a midi command and also will play a PC MIDI file. Perhaps Sherry if you feel that Notation Composer can not be used as an external midi source you might ,from your experience in this field , be able to suggest an alternative program that is available ?

You're correct that Notation Composer won't take a MIDI command (except when recording from a MIDI input device).
I'm still not quite clear on what needs to happen. I think my problem understanding the exact question revolves around the "Performance". From what I see in the user's manual for the unit (snagged it online), it looks like the Performance aspect is something that is saved on the unit, and is not controlled via a MIDI command - but perhaps I didn't dig deep enough to see what controller would be used for changing the Performance. It wouldn't be the Program change alone, which is the setting for a single instrument, but it may be related to bank changes, which could indeed change the "style" of a performance from a string quartet to a four-piece rock band.
Perhaps a bit more detail? Sorry for the density of brain matter here, but I don't have a Roland and so am not used to their specifics. If anyone else is more enlightened, please feel free to jump in!
ttfn,
Sherry
