Default Importing Midi file from DP 5 and other programs

trying to import midi files from someone else's Digital Performer 5 sessions.

using these files to manipulate tempos, make some changes, and then re-export back to him in DP again.

his sessions start at bar negative 1 ( -1) and this is causing problems on importing the midi file in Pro Tools

Anyone know how to have DP export from bar 1 instead of -1??

or how better to import these midi files into PT?

thank you!

What problems are you having specifically?

First, move the Pro Tools session start so that the negative value is visible. You can move it until -1 or more; whatever you are comfortable with.

Then when importing the MIDI (File->Import->MIDI...), after selecting the file, under the "Location" dropdown, select "Spot" and then type in -1 for the start time.
