I'm just saying you know it's bad when the program won't even touch it. Instead of offering no substitutions, that might be the first clue to offer the user some suggestions in a certain style or genre?

That's my question also. CSD, whatever is that?

The list of acronyms for 'CSD' is massive. I couldn't figure out any that relate to music, though.

Chord Substitution Dialog. You know it's bad when I even forgot what it meant ... and I thought some of you beta tested BIAB.
Some of us aren't as gifted as some of you when it comes to writing music. I just think that if the program can't find any good substitutions, then why not go one step further and offer better progressions it can substitute from?
I'm sure you've heard this the umpteenth time, but just trying to think outside the box. :-)

OK.
I do not recall anyone ever requesting an improvement to this.
It’s true that those of us who don’t need it are the ones who might notice shortcomings but of course aren’t going to. I do remember testing this feature many years ago when it was first developed and I thought it worked rather well. Can you give us an example of how you think it should be changed?

Okay, I'll be the dense one.
TLA? Three Letter Acronyms? Three Letter Abbreviation?

Let me help you John. It means Tour Los Angeles PS - I don't get it either but you probably already realize that!

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Not probably without embarrassing myself.
The feature is probably not intended to be that in-depth. Instead of offering 0 results for something it obviously deems unworthy of its time, how about offering something standard it would/could pick from.
Either it's not doing its job, or it's telling me I've got to be the worst, in either case I want a refund! /s

Yes, Three Letter Acronyms (or Abbreviations).
It was my way of demonstrating why acronyms can be so frustrating, when it's usually not that hard to just type the words.

OK. Now that we have the acronyms out of the way, I think there is a real problem here.
I just tried Chord Substitution in BIAB 2018, build 505, several ways. All it did was to change the first chord. It isn't working correctly.
I'm going to report this to the developers.

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."
