Ahhh... in CWP they call it "Event View", prolly the same thing.
You won't find any initial tempo settings in there (as well as any tempo changes for the rest of the MIDI file). Tempo changes aren't a MIDI "event" per-say, and are utilized/embedded elswhere in the MIDI file.
CWP uses a seperate "Tempo" window to enter any tempo changes (see attached pic). As you can see by the pic, I randomly drew a few tempo changes, yet there isn't any black boxes in the little squares on the right side of the screen; to the right of the "Size" column... which would mean that there were MIDI events contained on that track (also, the "Size" column would have a number in it, the number of MIDI events for that track).
Anyhoo, I'd guess that Sonar prolly has something similar... as a basic tempo editor of sorts would be a main-staple of any MIDI sequencer. But, I have no idea where it would be in Sonar.

You would have the exact same problem, including the one I described about "synching" the whole schmear up. You would want to start the MIDI recording with your sequencer, and then start the music within DOSBox. Same problem... the MIDI recording starts, and then the MIDI data plays, resulting in a mess.
Hehe, that's how I *used* to do it, way back when. When I wished to record the cook MIDI music of a game that I couldn't rip the MIDI files/data from.
I connected two PCs together with a MIDI cable, started CWP on one, and then the game one the other <grin>. Same problem though, a real mess... especially in score/music notation view when looked at by a musician <LOL>.
(edit) :duh: forgot to attach the pic... it's attached now 😀
('nuther edit) Tell ya what, if you want; ZIP up the MIDIs and send them to me at richnagel@earthlink.net , and I'll see if I can figure out anything for ya. In CWP, I could most definitely see any tempo changes that might be lurking in there 😀
