Hello and I need some help!
I've entered chords for a song:
Verse 1 (Acoustic Guitar Only)
Chorus1 (Acoustic Guitar Only)
Verse 2 (Acoustic Guitar & Bass only)
Chorus 2 (all instruments join in - after a drum fill on beat 3 of the last measure of Verse 2)
Question #1
What I want to do is create a drum fill to begin on beat 3 of Verse 2...so, I have the drum fill to lead me into chorus 2. How do I enter this?
Question #2
How can I made the drum fill more interesting?
Question #3
How can I create a more interesting guitar solo for a couple of lines in the Chorus #2?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Paul

Hi Paul, Please see my answers below. Question #1
What I want to do is create a drum fill to begin on beat 3 of Verse 2...so, I have the drum fill to lead me into chorus 2. How do I enter this? Whatever bar your chorus starts at, click on the bar number and it will turn blue; if clicked a second time, it will become green; a third click will set it back to normal (for most styles). These coloured boxes around the bar numbers are called part-markers and instruct BIAB to play a fill before them. There is no control over whether that fill will start on beat 3, though. The song needs to be regenerated after adding part-markers. For example, say your chorus begins on bar 16. Click 16 and it will turn blue. Now regenerate the song and a fill will be present in bar 15. The difference between the green and blue part-markers is that the green setting tells BIAB to play an accompaniment with slightly more movement until it meets a blue part-marker. Question #2
How can I made the drum fill more interesting? Try using the green partmarker. Question #3
How can I create a more interesting guitar solo for a couple of lines in the Chorus #2? I need to know how you create your solo at the moment so I can answer this. Also what is the number of the Realtrack that you are using for your solo? Regards, Noel

Thanks Noel for your reply and suggestions.
One last question if I may...
On the intro of my song I want 1 of the guitars in the arrangement to play a little lick...how would I go about notating what I want the guitar to play?
I'm aware that I need to click the notate icon, but how do I get a specific instrument to play the notes that I've just notated?
Thanks again for your your help.
Paul

Paul, If the guitar that you want to play your lick is a Realtrack (the track name will be in green), it is not possible to get it to play individual notes so whatever one notates has no affect the notes played. (Realtrack notation is a transcription of what the musician played when making the track. It doesn't control what the track plays. It's included in BIAB as a learning tool so that people can learn musical ideas from experts.) If the guitar track you are using is MIDI (the track name will be in yellow), then it's possible to change the notation that BIAB generated and the MIDI will play those notes. After changing the notation, though, it's necessary to freeze the track so that your changes are not lost the next time the track is generated. For ideas on using the notation editor, have a look at the 6:17 video called "Entering Notation In Band In A Box" at the below link. It's in the Beginners section. http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htmRegards, Noel

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?
