For example, I edited a melody. For example 1, 2, 3 I also determined that it is in the key of C major. I choose all 1,2,3 Then make the MIDI notation quickly become 3， 4， 5
I’m sorry but I don’t understand the question. Could you ask this another way?
thanks！
I want to sing the harmony myself. Because the software simulation does not sound good. However, the problem is that I can only remember the main melody. So I wonder if it is possible to generate a third and then I sing the harmony along with the third.
I might be starting to understand this. For example, in a major key, you might harmonize a melody by adding a note a major third above (or, to use the lower register, a minor sixth below). Do you want BIAB to highlight what that note would be?

I don't know if BIAB has such a function. For example, input a MIDI melody, select the SCALE, and then help generate the harmony melody. Because I remember that BIAB has a harmony function. Or other software have similar functions. If not, you can only do it manually.
Could you copy the melody to the soloist track, and then transpose the Soloist track by a third? (Not every note would necessarily sound correct, but it may be a starting point)

Yes. Not every note is right. Because the third pitch needs a limit, that is, it must be in the correct KEY, and a SCALE must be set
I just searched, and there is no similar software in the world at present. There are many people who want to set the SCALE according to a melody, and then generate a third.
There is the Harmony feature in BiaB, e.g., Harmony->Melody Harmony (select) which offers a number of ways to harmonise. A number mention 3rds. Does that not do what you want?

not quite sure what your problem is. are you singing a tune and want a harmony based on thirds?
as Gordon says BIAB will do that in the correct key very easily. is your problem that the harmony voice sounds artificial?
use it as a guide track and sing along with the harmony line to record the harmony in your own voice. if the original melody distracts you, mute it while you record.
then delete the original harmony track and you have your voice singing the melody and the harmony.
its really quite simple using BIAB and a little thought would have got you there very easily without posting. or is this not your problem?
personally i'd do it in RealBand - much easier to play around with separate tracks in my opinion.

I don't know much about the harmony in BIAB. Need to import vocals? Automatic generated? Usually the automatically generated effect is not as good as your own singing.
Learn how to use the harmonies in BIAB or RB and follow my instructions. It's a basic process in either program and should be easy enough to work out either by playing around and experimenting or reading the manual.
OK, I think I understand what SBM is asking. Reading this again:

What I think SBM wants is for BiaB to generate a harmony that (s)he can sing in his/her own voice and record to another track.
If I'm right, then I think the harmony generator should probably do that OK if SBM picks a suitable non-chordal instrument, maybe Saxophone, trombone, or whatever. Mute the melody or solo the harmony, listen in headphones, record own voice to a utility track?

swingbabymix, I see that you have Studio One. If you have the Pro version you have the monophonic version of Melodyne. If you bring your song into Studio One Pro you can copy your vocal track and with the second vocal track you can use Melodyne to create your harmony by moving the notes up or down whatever interval you want and correct the wrong notes. (In my polyphonic version of Melodyne it will show you the correct scale/chord notes, don't know if this is available in the monophonic version) You would then have your harmony part in your voice that you can either keep or use as a base for singing. Note I have done this many times.

Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
All this software use seems like a lot of work to deal with something that should be self-evident if one, you know what note you are singing, two you know what key you are in and three you have a scale chart to tell you the notes.
Having any sort of keyboard that you can play notes together will let your ear know if you are doing something that sounds good together.
As an experiment, I just played a C scale on a keyboard and checked to see what notes sounded good together. Harmony is not hard to understand. You do not need to be a piano player to do these sorts of experiments. You do not need to know that it is the "third" or the "fifth" you are using but it is pretty self-evident if you can count to seven...lol
Understanding basic musical concepts are not difficult. You don't have to call it "music theory". It is not critical if you don't know what a minor third is. Having said that it is useful to know and understand at least basic music theory. That understanding makes using software like BIAB more valuable.
Melodyne can be used to create harmony but it never sounds as good as singing it yourself. Learning to use Melodyne is not simple. Auto-Tune will create harmony and is less trouble to use but cost more.

Why do bagpipe players walk while they play? To get away from the noise
What kind of music should you listen to while fishing? Something catchy!
I can't understand why the OP want a formula to 'find the third'. if he wants a harmony based on thirds BIAB just does it and takes into account the intervals of the scale and key.
why does he need to know that the third of C in the key of C is actually E? how does this help him sing a new harmony part? unless he is laboriously trying to enter a midi melody line which will play the harmony he wants to sing?
i hope i'm not being unkind but somehow there seems a basic lack of music knowledge and BIAB.

Because the three tones are generally more integrated, this is a good start for me.
Harmony is generally a three-tone success rate is relatively large, of course, some details need to be modified.

I'm confused by what you want to get.
Do you want a harmony a third above/below the melody? or Do you want a three-part harmony and you want to find the third harmony part?
One harmony option is just the notes in the current chord.
The language translations do not help to make things clear.
