garage band merge of midi tracks

Is it possible to merge two MIDI tracks into a single track, with the resulting track keeping all the notes from both tracks? I want a "merge" in the true sense of the word - a product that contains the contents of both tracks layered one upon the other.

To be clear, I am not asking how to merge or Join regions within a single track; I am not asking how to overwrite one to the other, which thereby eliminates the notes of one in the process.

My goal is to ultimately use the Score button to generate the musical notation for export that is the composite of the two MIDI tracks' notes in one piece of music.

Using GB 10.4.8.

Hello Al_Chance,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. There's an option to overdub a a recording and merge them into a single region. Here's more information in the GarageBand user guide: Overdub software instrument takes in GarageBand on Mac - Apple Support

That is certainly a great work around - but will involve a lot of re-recording.

I understand there are other softwares that will do exactly as I described - that is why I asked. I do understand GB cannot be everything to everyone, else Logic will never sell.

Thank you.
