Tracks v Channels

Hello Mike,

<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1>quote:</font>

I thought that one version of Composer actually separated these notes into different tracks, which at least gave correct play-back. However, I may be misremembering this.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>Composer does this when it imports a MIDI file of Format Type 0. However, if the MIDI file is of Format Type 1, then Composer assigns the first channel it sees to all of the MIDI events in the track, which isn't what you want. You want it to preserve the distinct MIDI channels used in the same track.

I'm not sure how often it happens that another MIDI program will author a MIDI track with multiple channels. So, I'm not sure about how important it is for Composer to support this soon. However, I'm now looking at other scenarios whether multiple channels per track is needed.

It is on Composer's to-do list to support pitch bend notation, along with chord diagrams and tablature for guitars.
