Best method for editing existing charts

After watching pksage’s tutorial, I’ve been playing around with Reaper and becoming fairly comfortable with how charting works (importing an mp3 to the Custom Creators template and testing out adding notes, then seeing that reflected in the RBN preview window). So now, I figure the best way to dip my feet in would be to edit some existing charts. I have many old custom songs that aren’t charted for pro drums that I’d like to add the tom markers to, but wondering now the best workflow to do this.
Could I possibly get a brief Reaper workflow for importing the existing chart to begin editing it? I don’t believe it is as simply as importing the midi.

Then, export all the tracks you imported. If you didn’t do anything beyond adding/changing a few notes, there’s probably no need to test it with C3 CON Tools’ included midi tester.
Just replace the song’s midi file with your newly exported one and you should be able to play it just fine. No need to delete and add it to your song library, because there should be no changes in the song info, just the charts.

That’s most helpful, thank you. Though that does conflict with the ‘C3 Tutorial for New Authors’ doc (as mentioned above) which states to import tracks at 3.1.00 (these are the more specific bits of info I was looking for here)?
That refers to song audio, which should start at 3.1.00, but midi data, including the tempo map, should always start at 1.1.00.
Hi guys. Not OP, but I can’t even figure out how to extract the MIDI from the CON file. I’m not seeing it in the tutorial anywhere.
Never mind, I figured it out (drag the file onto the main window of C3 CON Tools). That info really should be easier to find, I had to dig through the changelog of CON Tools and do a bunch of Ctrl+F searches just to find it…

Thank you for this information. I really want to learn to chart songs and thought I would start by trying to add to an existing incomplete chart but I have been a embarrassed to admit the the tutorial goes a little over my head. There are some details like this that are hard to find. This is helpful!
