Other MIDI file handling notes

Here are a few specific points about how SONAR works with MIDI files:

SONAR places Lyric events found in Format 0 MIDI files into Track 4, in accordance with conventions used by karaoke players.

SONAR inserts any Text or Lyric events found at time 0 in a track into the Comments field in the File Info dialog box, unless the Text or Lyric event is preceded by a Note event.

SONAR automatically enables the Zero Controllers when Play Stops option (available in Edit > Preferences > Project - MIDI) whenever a MIDI file is loaded.

If a general MIDI file contains a copyright notice, the File Info window will be displayed automatically when the file is opened.
