I’m really enjoying the BBMO app! I am encountering one issue - or am doing something wrong…
When I “Save Track as Midi File” and give it a new name, the new file name does not show up. Even if I close the browser and restart, the midi file name is the same (although the revisions I made with the editor are showing.) My work-around is to go to the old BeatBuddy Manager and import the new midi file.
Any assistance would be appreciated! ~ Clem
So you create a new midi in BBMO and try to save it to your PC. How can you import it with BBM if you can’t save it in the first place? 
Sorry if I wasn’t clear… The midi file (with a new name) is saved in BBMO, but in the BBMO interface, the midi file still reflects the old name. Even if I close the browser and re-launch BBMO, the old midi file name (not the new file name) shows in the BBMO interface.
However, if I open the same song in BB Manager, I can import the newly created midi file and it will show and save the correct midi file name. Does that make sense? Otherwise I’ll document with screenshots. Thank you!
This explanation makes better sense. Have you tried doing a web page refresh after naming the file?
Yes and also 1. saved the project 2. closed browser completely 3. reopened browser & app
I can confirm what Clemer’s problem is with BBMO. I did a “Save Track as Midi File” and give it a new name. The name was saved correctly in Windows Explorer. I then added a new part in a song in BBMO and then did an ‘Import MIDI File’ of the renamed MIDI file. When imported it retained the original name and not the new name. Importing the renamed file to a new part in the Legacy BBM the new name was displayed properly.
I’m not too happy with not having ‘Save Project As’ either and having to play games to simply rename a project to edit and rearrange songs.
Windows 11 using Chrome
Opened the renamed MIDI file with Notepad…
MThd àMTrk œ ÿ#BeatBuddy Manager: http://localhost ÿCountry Beat #1 str B ÿQ ÿX $p 6x$ * |dx |% 6x% * tdx t$r 6x$ * |dx |% 6x% * tdx tÿ/
The original name is embedded in the file and likely is what BBMO is reading(?) The file gets renamed, but evidently not the metadata in the file(?)
MarkF48 did a better job describing the problem than I did. The problem should be easy to recreate. Also, I share the same hunch that BBMO continues to read the file’s old name embedded in metadata.

Thank you for reporting,
we will look into this one
If the following screen shots illustrate the issue, I’ve come up with a workaround. If this is not the same problem, I’ll move my post to a new thread.
The name of the region I’m editing in Logic Pro X is Bataca. Screen shot 01
When I export it to MIDI from my DAW, I name it as Song 1. Screen shot 02
When I import Song 1.mid to BBMO, it retains the name Bataca (the behavior I’m expecting is for it to use the name of the MIDI file—Song v1). Screen shot 03
The workaround is to double-click Bataca as in Screen shot 04 and once hi-lited,
Rename it to whatever you want Screen shot 05
Although it does not solve the problem, it could help users until the Singular Sound developers sort it out.
