I have a series of midi files in a track within the arragement view which I would like to coslidate to a single file. Problem is, when I consilidate I loose each of the individual program change numbers that were in each file! Anyone know how to get around this?
Many Thanks in advance!

Consolidating mutiple Midi Files with Program Changes to one
More info about the situation
Here's a bit more detail to hopefully help clarify exactly what I'm trying to achieve...
I’ve programmed a bunch of songs which are being used in a live stage show.
Each individual song was created in the Arrangement view & has been saved as a separate Live Set.
Currently during the show each new song needs to be loaded individually. This is quite awkward & not ideal so I would like to now create one Live Set which holds each individual song to help streamline the process.
To do this I’m thinking of rendering each song to a stereo audio file & then loading into one Live Set. Each song would be loaded as a clip as part of its own scene within the session view….
HERE’s THE TWIST:
Each song also contains a MIDI track which holds a number of separate MIDI files which are each assigned a different program number. Each one of the program numbers triggers off a diiferent light scene in an external lighting desk which is receiving the program change information via MIDI.
If I consolidate all the separate MIDI files on this MIDI track to one file, I loose all my individual program changes.
Does anyone know a way around this?
How can I render/consolidate all these individual program changes to one file so I can then load it into my new Live set as one file without losing the seperate program change information?
I hope I am making sense here! I would certainly appreciate any guidance you can offer.
A solution here would warrant legend status!
Many Thanks in advance...
