Hi, Shawn:

When you export a file to midi format, you lose any special notation markings you've added -- the midi file format doesn't have provision for them.

To keep the graphics, you need to save in .not format, which is the default.

To have a .mid file that has your repeats in it, go to the File menu, choose "Export" then choose "Export midi file", then be sure to click on the "Write out repeats and separate lyrics verses in save MIDI file" box. That way your repeats are added in linear fashion to the file, ie., with a complete set of bars for each repeat as they come up.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

David
