I'm not familiar with Chordie but if the program can export chords as text, BIAB can import chords in text format. You can bypass MIDI completely if that works for you.

Here is a BIAB demo sgu file saved as .txt file:


[Song] [Title _COOLEVE Demo - Cool Evening On Beach Swing]
[File _COOLEVE Demo - Cool Evening On Beach Swing.SGU]
[Key G ] [Tempo 85] [Form 1-16*3]
[.Sty _COOLEVE.STY] [Style Cool Evening On Beach Swing]
[Chords]
|:a) G| Am| Bm| Am|
| G| D| C|%|
|b) Em| Bm| C| Em|
| A| D| G Am| G:3X|end) G|
[ChordsEnd]
[SongEnd]

Note that you can save any BIAB file as a .txt file using the Save Special | Save song on clipboard or text file command. You can also create a complete BIAB file using text....

You can see the results of the above text chart using copy (Ctrl-C) to copy the text to your clipboard and opening a new BIAB session and use Ctrl-shift-V to paste the info onto the Chord Sheet. It's quite a trick. Have we unleashed the beast now that you have all this new knowledge?
