Importing StaffPad midi files into Ableton

[scoopneck]

I am new to using StaffPad and am trying to export midi files from it and import them into Ableton. I am having no luck so far. The midi file exports as ".midi" format and is "greyed out" when trying to import into Ableton. Drag and drop doesn't work either. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here? Seems like it should be a no-brainer.

Try renaming .midi to .mid, it should work.

thanks much, that did it...wonder why staffpad exports them as ".midi" files. Annoying.

Cheers!
