General Discussion / Importing a MIDI with Lyrics
I am not a musician. I am laboring and hurting a lot because of my ignorance of music. I am a pastor in Mexico (American missionary), and we solved a problem of not having any musicians in our church with VanBasco. It plays midis with karaoke words. Everything fine for 10 years now, but now we are noticing some errors in the hymns, and I am trying to fix things. The main problem are these minor errors that my people won't let me live with. "El" in Spanish should have an accent "Él".

So I created these hymns with another pastor, and he has since died. He did most of the work. But the process is to create the nwc file in NoteWorthy Composer and then export it. I have since lost the original NWC files. I tried importing the midi back into NWC but it comes in as a line which cannot be edited. It is there in the staff, but the midi shows no lyrics activated. I open Staff Lyrics, and no lyrics are activated. I change the Lyric Line count to 1, and I can add lyrics, but they are on top of what the import has.

How do I edit a MIDI then? Can somebody tell me exactly how to import the MIDI with lyrics correctly so that they end up in the Lyrics 1 tab?

A second related problem is to export the NWC file into a MIDI file, and the Spanish accented letters would show correctly. áéíóú ÁÉÍÓÚ and ñÑ¿¡. Any help people? I am like a month trying to figure out how to do this and nothing.
