I would like to know this too.
I usually send the required info as a .txt with the MIDI file.

Are you talking about simple markers as in Intro, Verse, Chorus etc? or more like tempo or time sig changes?

Inserted Midi Markers should get saved automatically (under the midi spec) if saved as a SMF file. Type 0 or 1 doesn't matter

yes that's exactly what im talking about mike.
 
i create a project and write all the midi drums parts first untill finished, then i create, as you say simple markes for; intro, verse, bridge, exc.
im trying to find a way to start a new project, import this file with all the markers laid out with the clip.
 
thanks

ps- I usually do the same thing as well mike, create a text file with marker locations , BPM, liner notes, things like that.
but sending this project to 4 different members im trying to make it easier somehow.

If I save a MIDI only project with tags as a MIDI file, then open up the .mid file, the tags are there. If you import the file, the tags are gone. So, don't import the file, just open it as a project.

that was the first thing i thought of but I m trying to figure a way to save it embedded.
thanks though.
 
because in some cases, ive made up to 200 edits in these projects, that's what I don't want to save, previous info.
I want a clean slate, new project with markers only.
 
in one of these projects after drum edits only,(over 300 easy) the project takes almost 5-10 seconds just to save.
this is a tell tale sign that it indeed is saving previous historys of edits.
even after resaves.
 
I have 10 songs like this.

I guess I don't understand. When I save a project as a .mid file, the tags are stored in the .mid file. What do you mean by embedded? The tags are in the MIDI file created by SONAR.

So Steve, you're saying that if you save a MIDI file, export it and send it to me I can create a new project, import that MIDI file and your markers will show on my timeline?

No. I am saying if I Save a project as a MIDI file (no export process needed), send it to you and you Open the MIDI file in SONAR the tags will show on your timeline. Not using the export/import functions, using the save/open functions. The SONAR import process strips the tags from the file.
