Long-time-no-see! Quick Midi Q

Hi,
 
I sent some tracks as audio to a friend to record some midi parts to and negated to tell him the tempos, so I now have a bunch of midi that's the wrong speed. The reason I'm not around here so much is I've migrated platform and for all but one song it's been easy to import the midi and adjust it to the real tempo. But the one song I've got left in Sonar I can't work out!
 
I've got a cwb with the mixed audio and the midi file at 120bpm and I want to move in to another sonar project where the tempo is 85bpm. In my other DAW I just select item properties and 'ignore project tempo play at 120' bang, away we go. But I can't work out how to get the midi from one sonar project to another and adjust the tempo as appropriate.
 
Please help!
 
Cheers,
Child

    Thanks Mystic,
     
    Should I make it a groove clip, change the source project tempo and then drag the midi out of Sonar and back in to the other Sonar project, or should I import it at the wrong tempo and then make it a groove clip?

    Geez, I've just noticed that it's almost exactly 10 years since I joined this forum! I'm so old (sob!)

    Here's the easy way:
     
    - Open the 120BPM project.
    - Enable snap, and set your Now time at Measure 121 (Tempo +1 because measures start at 1, not 0)
    -  Hit Shift+M to bring up Set Measure/Beat At Now, enter Measure 86, Beat 1, and OK.
    - SONAR will set the initial tempo to 85 around the existing material without altering its playback timing.
    - The M:B:T Grid will now be aligned with the MIDI (as well as the audio) at the original tempo of 85 BPM.
    - Drag the MIDI out to your desktop and import it (or copy-paste directly into your original project), and you should be good to go.

    Hi Brundlefly, (nice to see an old face) Bob on the money, many thanks! (once I'd worked out shift-M rather than N).

    Oops.   I better fix that for posterity. Good to see you back around. I checked out for most of last year, too. Got distracted by other interests and tired of the endless acrimonious debates.
