If anyone else got stuck on this I hope this helps…
I just finished watching a BIAB video and I finally understand why I was so confused working with this product. I kind of put BIAB off to the side for a long time due to being stuck trying to understand why I couldn’t get a structure to work properly.
Per BIAB: A chorus is defined as going once through the complete form of the song, or for a typical verse, verse, bridge, verse, or A A B A pop song.
What I assume we all understand to be a chorus BIAB calls it a bridge, and they consider a grouping of verses and bridges to be a chorus. I don’t know of any other musician that uses this structure naming outside of BIAB.

Well now that you know this curiousity you'll be sorted.-)The word foxxed me too at the beginning of this year cos I'm wtiting Verses and then the Chorus bit is my bit in the middle.But now I develop my song as one long 'chorus' and change the box at the top to 1 and it plays it straght through whatever I've written.That way if ive gone AABACA for example i dont have to think about it.

I don’t know of any other musician that uses this structure naming outside of BIAB. You are correct, it is unusual that the word "Chorus" defines playing once through the complete song. I also have only seen it used in BiaB, but once you get familiar with the operation, it should be smooth sailing. Welcome to the neighborhood. Trev.

The origin of the term, along with the original purpose of BIAB, is from jazz. We say, “Take a chorus” and it means solo once through the entire tune. BIAB was originally developed to play songs in jazz fakebooks.

Here in Oz, we would say: 'Take One' (or maybe: 'Take Five' )
