Now, any suggestion as how to make a pickup bar? By this I mean forcing the system to sart on the 3 of the first 3/4 measure?


Luc, are you meaning that you want the chords and bass to play on beat 3 of the pickup bar?

If so, try using bar 1 as the pickup bar. The general principle is to rest instruments for beats 1 and 2 and then enter a chord on beat 3. The image below shows how to accomplish this.

The 'C.d' tells all instruments to rest except the drums. Everything then plays with the G7 chord (beat 3) and then changes to the C chord (beat 1, bar 2).

In the Windows version of BIAB.... Chord settings are obtained by right-click on a blank space on the chord sheet and selecting 'Chord Settings' from the pop-up menu. The keyboard shortcut is ALT+F5. One could also add a part marker on bar 2 and force a drum fill in bar 1.

Regards,
Noel
