Hi all, I'm brand new to BITB. I started playing with BITB 2007 a few days ago. I've composed a tune but I'm having a helluva time with repeats and endings. The tune I created has 16 bars (linear). I'd like the tune to repeat after it finishes with bar 8, so that it plays bars 1-8 twice. Then, it proceeds to bar 9 and finishes out the song at bar 16. I can't figure out how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Mikey,
Check out the Biab Tutorials (Videos) on the main PG Music page. I don't use repeats and can't explain how to set them correctly, but the videos cover it.
You can lay out your song in one long form too, btw.

Hello Mikey, Your song actually has 24 bars the way you described it. 1-8 plays twice, 9-16 plays once. One way you could do it is to enter all 24 bars of your song into the chordsheet, then create the repeat making sure that "Generate Bars" is unchecked (that's a setting in the Repeats and Endings dialog.). The other way to do it is to enter 16 bars and create the repeat with "Generate Bars" checked, so that BIAB adds the 8 bars to your song. There are tutorials on this at: http://www.pgmusic.com/tutorial_repeats.htmAlternatively, you could simply use the "regular" settings to frame your song without using 'repeats and endings'. In other words, just set the first and last bar of your chorus, and the # of choruses you want played. You could set 1-8 2X, then setup a tag ending (Song Settings window) to play bar 9-16 after the second chorus.

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."
