Difficulties exporting Midi files from Sonar 8.5.3

When you export to a MIDI Groove clip, it only exports the clip and not all the repeats. To save it with the repeats you have to save as a CWP or MIDI file.

...ah... I get what you're saying about saving as a midi file now (I did a little more research).  I did that, but my problem is that when I do save it as a midi file, when I check it by importing it into a project, its all scrambled!  It has huge gaps of nothing in the file & it ends up being more than 1000 bars long! (the original song is about 120 bars long)... It seems to me that the file seems to be splitting itself up of its own accord & moving itself in chunks along the timeline???  I tried bouncing it to clips to consolidate any stray layers I might have missed, but it doesn't make any difference. I tried saving it as a new project but I get the same result... any one know what might be going on? 

...yeah, I still haven't found the solution to this - its very puzzling????

I'll give it a go
Send me the cpw  to      cactusmusic@telus.net

...um... it gets returned to my email as undeliverable...???

Apologies if this is too basic or you've done it already, but why don't you just drag the midi file to your desktop from Sonar.  It might not solve the issues with your file but it is the easiest way to get your midi file out.  

Thanks, yeah I discovered this neat function just recently (I've had lots of experience with audio, but not with midi!), but unfortunately I still get the same glitch when I drag / import the file into another program... I'm sure there's some really basic, dumb thing I'm doing wrong, but I just can't seem to find it anywhere!
