I can't believe that in this day and age we still have to edit a complicated text file to add your own chord substitutions to the chord sub dialog box. It's not 1989 any more! Please update this applet to easily add your own ideas to the list which as it stands leaves out an awful lot of possibilities!

Alan, I don't find this difficult to do, but you are right, it could be improved.
Since I know you have a superb knowledge of chord types, I wonder if you have already constructed a large list? Mine is quite short, four or so.

Matt, I have several that are derived from the Coltrane 'Giant Steps' 3 tonic system (C E Ab) where I add other familiar formulas like tritone subs and different chord qualities to disguise the sequence.
You can do the same with a 4 tonic system based on m3rd key changes.
I've some that are more like polymodal ideas to apply when the chords are static and/or when I need to come up with changes over a pedal point that support chromatic or intervallic lines.
Other methods I use are not really applicable to the automated chord sub function; it's more a case of using constant structures that follow the melody or counter melody so they're going to be different for every tune.

Alan Gosh, there's more to this music thing than I thought. Total gibberish to me - maybe I should have studied harder.

If you think it sounds gibberish on paper wait till you hear the chord sequences on playback... yeah you guessed it,gibberish! That is until you stick a single note bass drone under the whole thing to tie it together. It covers a multitude of chordal sins I find! I have to admit I'm struggling when it comes to chromatic harmony. It's far easier when you just stick to functional progressions in major and minor keys. It's just that I get bored hearing the same overused chord sequences you get in mainstream jazz so I keep looking for something new. Alan

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
