I'll make this simple
track (and presumably project) pitch changing through automation is more in character for garageband than for lmms. I can only change up to and down to 2 semitones, and in existing midis that I have tested in synthesia and windows media player extensively the changes are <10% of normal.

Example:

If y'all compose experimental electronic music and don't see what's wrong, then here is the original song:

And, to those who may think it is a problem with the way the midi was transcribed or just is, here is output from media player:

Noo -You can change from 1 semitone -> (afair) 6 octaves.
You need to understand that the RANGE settings controls the spread/ granularity of the PITCH dial.
Default RANGE is 1.
In that setting PITCH is one semitone up, and one down, so 2
Now change RANGE to 12. you now span an octave!
RANGE goes up to 64, so you have a huge span of PITCH on all instruments.
Master-pitch on Main-controller spans over 4 octaves afair

Thank you. That fixes the limitation. I saw the range dial and didn’t correlate it with the pitch.

However, I this still doesn’t fix the midi import pitch problems

The messed up pitch bends on import is still plaguing me, a year later. Any setting that I’m missing, or something?

No, if the midi does not create a automation, then pitch is not imported, and you need to make the feature, in the new mix.
