After song 1 is created: using Melodist
1. Using Coyote synth. 2. Do a Save + creating MGU file 3. Do a Midi save creating a .Mid file. 4. Do a .WAV save renedering existing name in the Rendering screen. Works great.
Then a multitude of changes are made to same genre and variation settings, including a new generation.
Saving Song 2 do steps 2,3,4. But step 4 rendering has same name held as in the Song 1 steps.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
Seeker

There is a "choose"-button on top of the render to audio dialog. You can choose directory and filename of the .wave file.
Perhaps in BIAB versions older than 2010 there is no "choose"-button.

I build a 'Working File', say "Silent Night". I save the Band in a Box file there. I save all the work there. I save the .wav file there Silent Nightrender.wav I rename the file with a right click to Silent Night1.wav I continue to make files and rename them. Then use Audacity to clean them up nice and save them as mp3's. Add cover art to the mp3 using a id tag edit program. Save the final version as 03Set01Silent Night.mp3
The letters help to sort the files inside the sets. I then stick them on my player and sit at the acoustic piano with the printed out lead sheets and go from there.
I'm positive lots of people here have a more detailed workflow than that....but it's a start.

I do the same as John does, going into Explorer window of the folder where the songfiles are being stored and simply changing the name of the xxxxx"render".wav file to the appended number new filename, then click the taskbar to bring BiaB back up where I can continue working on the song and can do another Render without overwriting the first one, etc.
Works great.

Just don't make the mistake I did and rename it to be the same as your BIAB file with a .wav file at the end. The program then uses it as the audio track.

Not to hijack the thread, but that is a feature that I hope stays as it is.
I'm generally a lot faster at transcribing than the ACW and being able to name an audio file the same as the BiaB filename and have it load automatically when that file is loaded makes laying out a song in BiaB a snap for me...

I wasn't complaining, just passing along something that didn't occur to me until I guessed what was happening. I had never used the audio track so I didn't even realize it was playing at the same time and that's why I couldn't mute certain parts. :-)

Ralf,
The word Choose thru me off, thought this was to "Choose existing Midi, load and render". Read too much into the "new to me" word. My error, and my DUH......
John, Mac,
Old software geezer here, usually there is a workaround... That is what I was doing once the problem was ID'd. Works great !
John,
I will have to study the "book" on the adding cover art step. Excellent idea tho, was not aware enough to even ask.
Dave,
Ya, I make enough mistakes without adding more.
Thanks to you all, this really nailed down the problem for me.

I'm messing with making a lead sheet and sticking it as the 'cover'. Then I need to test that on a 'tablet'. The idea being you see the leadsheet, count in..and there you go, as long as it's only one page....
