Does my MIDI come across from SongBook Pro?

Yes. Program changes, control changes and the rig settings attached to each song are imported alongside the songs themselves, in the same step.

Do I need to rename files or run scripts?

No. You upload the backup file exactly as SongBook Pro creates it.

Can I import only my MIDI?

Yes. There is a MIDI-only mode that matches on song title and adds MIDI to songs you already have in QMe, leaving the songs themselves untouched.

Switching from SongBook Pro

Move your whole SongBook Pro library across in one drop

You spent years building that library. You should not have to build it again. QMe reads your SongBook Pro backup file directly and brings your songs, your chords and all your MIDI across together, in a single step.

What comes across

Every song and its chords, with the chord positions kept where you put them
Your MIDI, so your rig still changes patch on the songs it used to
Tempos, capo settings and song keys
Duplicate song titles, kept rather than silently dropped

How to do it

Back up in SongBook ProCreate a backup in SongBook Pro. You will end up with a file ending in .sbpbackup.
Open the QMe web consoleGo to qmeprompter.com on a computer and sign in with your QMe account.
Open the SongBook Pro importerOpen the Import / Export menu and choose Import SongBook Pro.
Drop the file inThat is the whole job. No renaming, no CSV wrangling, no scripts, no re-typing.

A library of around 750 songs imports in a couple of minutes. This has been tested against real libraries that size, not a demo file.

Just want your MIDI?

If your songs are already in QMe and it is only the MIDI you are missing, there is a MIDI-only mode. It matches on song title and adds the MIDI to the songs you already have, leaving everything else exactly as it is.

A note on duplicates

If your library has two songs with the same title, QMe keeps both. SongBook Pro's own export quietly drops one of them, which is worth knowing if you have ever compared a backup against your actual library and found the numbers did not match.

What you get once you are across

Scroll that follows your voice, or runs to tempo, or steps on a foot pedal. Your choice, per song.
Chords above your lyrics, sized to read under stage lighting.
Your lyrics on Even Realities G2 smart glasses, so you can keep your head up.
MIDI program changes fired from your setlist, so your rig follows the song.
Apple Watch control and foot pedal support, so your hands stay on the instrument.
