Bad notes in harmony.
wish the piano respect the modes and key of a harmonic minor scales to hembellish de chords.
As you can see in the picture the blue arrow points to a note A natural instead Ab due I have the key in Fm.
Any help? I forced the track to natural Embellish
Thanks

Tony,

Did you try the suggestions that I gave in one of your other posts?

If you want chords to play as entered, and give BIAB no opportunity to modify them, the two settings I've mentioned in the above post will do the job.

The fact that the chord in your image has the 13th in it seems to be saying that BIAB has chosen this chord over the C7b9 that you entered.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel96 thanks a lot!
I have done the changes you suggest me but when you put a chord like G7b13, BiaB plays sometimes the 9th natural instead flat 9th even if you are in Cm key!!

If you right-click on the chordsheet and then select "Chord Builder", you will see all the chords available to BIAB in the dropdown box (see image below).

I'm not sure if the Mac version has this chord, but it's worth trying.

C7b9b13

As mentioned in my other post...

...it's very important that you disable "Natural Arrangements" and activate "Force simple arrangement" to get BIAB to play the chords that you enter. If you don't change those two settings, BIAB can potentially substitute some other chord instead of the one you want.

Regards,
Noel
