Yes. It's terminology based in jazz to my understanding.
In its default start up state, Biab will be 1-32-3 in the box Kent with PG staff posted earlier in the thread.
You will note in bar one there is a straight line with two vertical dots on the left side.
At bar 32, there is a straight line with two vertical dots on the right side and a small 3x.
This is musical notation that tells us our complete band in a box song will play bars 1-32 and then repeat two more times for a total of 96 bars. As you see, rather than show 96 bars, 32 bars can fit on our computer screen.
It is simpler to input the chords in a linear fashion of 1-96 bars and scroll down to the higher numbered measures. This also provides the additional benefit that bars 33-96 can contain different chords than the default setting where bars 1-32 repeat the same chords for bars 33-96.
Inputting in a linear manner allows us to separate the song format into more familiar sections such as intro, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus and outro.
Biab provides the blue, green and assorted other colors for use to designate the song format.
All you have to do to change between the repeating chorus format and the linear format is to change that third number to 1 and the second (middle) number to the total numbers of bars the length of your song ultimately totals. So your song project may appear 1-78-1 where the song (chorus) begins at bar 1, plays through to bar 78 where an end measure occurs to make a Biab generated two bar ending that has two additional bars for a fade.
Bar one always has a bar marker.
An example of a 4 bar intro into a verse would be to place your second part marker at bar 5. So your intro would begin at bar 1 and play for 3 more bars and then your verse chords would begin at bar 5.
If the first verse ended after playing a total of 8 bars, place your next part marker at bar 13. Noel96 posted a similar pictorial example layout earlier in this thread.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.
