Back again. In Bars 47 and 48 Ive got a sort of descending 'run' of chords which work nicely except that the Accordion plays the D/A too HIGH. It really sticks out and it would be much better if played an octave lower. I know its an RT but is there a way of telling it to play it lower or is it what it is please? WendyM

With Realtracks, it's necessary to regenerate until you obtain what you are after. With BIAB the whole track has to be regenerated. In Realband, however, one can simply select a region of track and get just that section regenerated.
Alternatively...
You mentioned in one of your other threads that you used a DAW to modify endings.
If that's the case, another way to do what you want is to...
1. find the D chord you want in the accordion track (in your DAW)
2. turn on 'Snap to grid' to make it easier to line up copying the bar
3. copy the D chord
4. replace the problem chord with the one you've just copied
It will take a bit of fiddling around with but by using cross-fade, it's possible to mix and match parts of tracks. I do it regularly.
Hello again Floyd. Yes D5/A gave me the right low chord but it lost the Bass A and plays a Bass D. But, hey ho, it sounds Sooo much better. Im keeping it in. Not reading music and no technical understanding I never thought about 5 and 2s and all that. Ill remember for next tiume. WendyM

I'm wondering if adjusting the lowest allowed bass note would help here, and allow the bass to go down to D. That might be a MIDI function only, though. Anyone know?

Are you mixing in a DAW? If so, use Noel's suggestion on the bass track... find an A on the bass track to cut & paste at that spot...
First my apologies to Noel and Matt.In my excitment to get this thing fixed I forgot to say Thank You. Yes I mix in my DAW. I have opened RB and it scared me to death and promptly closed it again! Another learning curve. Floyd,There is an clear A in the Bass track at a different bar and Ill cut and paste it in when it goes to DAW and give it a listen.I never thought of that. Thanks. Wat I couldnt get was if I put D5/A, D6/A etc WHY didnt it play an A? I clealry played a D. Every time. Its a gypsy jazz track so id have thought the players were well up at the various nuances of chords that the style uses. My Bro wrote the chords out for me, im not that smart. Matt, afaict the accordion is not a midi available track, no green line, and even if it was Id have no idea (yet) how to get that in instead of the RT. WendyM

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.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
