I suspect I'm in the wrong forum. If so please direct me. I'm trying to do the song, "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by the Casinos - early sixties I think.
It's really just a basic I-VI-II-V but before coming back to the verse they slip in a I7#9 chord that really makes the whole song.
C//Am//Dm//G//C//Am//Dm//G,C#7#9 doesn't work I even tried adding a 9th measure.
BIAB has the 7#9 chord. For example C7#9. The chord you've written is the 7#9 based on C#... i.e. C#7#9 which could also be entered as Db9.
If you are trying to get a C chord with a #7 and #9, BIAB does not recognise this. If you are meaning to play the B instead of Bb (in C7), Cmaj7 will do that. However, there is not a Cmaj7#9 chord available in BIAB. If this was the chord you are after, you could try Gaug/C or an EmMaj7/C.
That's a classic tune. Every online version I can find of the Casinos singing it is in the key of A. They also use a different arrangement than the online sheet music in the key of F. The Casinos version does follow a I/IV/II/V form with a bII7 passing chord to cycle back to the I. I sketched it out like this and it sounds pretty close.

Been playing this song for a few years and this is how I see it written out in BIAB.
The Casino's originally did it in the key of A so that is how I have shown it.
Notes:
Measure 1 is set to a tempo of 60 in case you loop the song. No need to if you don't loop it. It is also set to play 1 beat for that marvelous chord that makes the song which happens to be a Bb7#9 in the key of A.
Measure 2 is set to play 4 beats for the remainder of the song.
Measure 4 I muted the vocals. They don't need to play the entire song.
Wish I could figure out how to get just a count of 3 and have the Bb7#9 come in of the 4th beat of measure 1 but it still works the way I did it here.
The version I am providing is from the short version on YouTube
Thanks to all. I was unable to respond for several days. I've always loved this song. I think it is officially the last Doo Wop song (not counting reissues, tributes and such. If you had asked me I would've sworn it was early sixties but it was actually released in 1967. Wikipedia doesn't have much information about the Casinos, too bad. I'm still working on it but the overall sound sounds right. I'm using: Amaj7 //F#m7/Bm//Bb7#9 and it works. Changing the A to A Maj7 made a huge difference.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
