I have imported a MIDI file and it is located in the root container.
Now I want to save the first 8 bars in the embedded library.
How do I do this, what method should I follow?

Yes , thanks it most  be done track by track, but  not as a whole is possible 
Although you could divide a container ?

select the timespan you want, snap shot it into a new container then drag that container into the library? That's assuming you want the multi-instrument setup preserving in the library.

Thanks, never thought about this kind of snapshotting. let me try this 
Advantages  compared with the track by  track method ?

I did it this way: I placed the snapshot in a new container and then dragged it to the library.
This has the advantage that it remains in a container structure and works fast
This is in contrast to the extraction method of dragging track by track to the library.

Yes, Jan, you already knew this, because you've have  Synfire for a long time, right?

That's right, but I haven't used Synfire for a while and my knowledge has faded a bit :-)
