Need help with deleting bars at the end of a transcription #861700 09/05/25 07:21 PM Beginners Forum

OP Moonbeam9067 Apprentice Joined: Dec 2024 Posts: 232	Greetings. I have made a long transcription of an imported audio file. I designated more bars in the project than I needed so I am left with leftover bars that I want to delete. Also there is the usual "end" bar there. I have uploaded an image. 1. How to I keep BIAB from making this apparently obligatory "end" bar with an auto chosen chord? 2. How do I delete the unneeded bars # 115- 124? I want #114 to be the last bar in my transcription. When I highlight the non desired bars, right click and choose delete bars, some bars are deleted, but the BIAB "ending" stays and there is a gap between the non deleted bars and this retained ending. I clearly don't understand the concept of deletion and this "ending" that BIAB places. Can you guide me? Thanks so much! Last edited by Moonbeam9067; 09/05/25 07:23 PM.

This is how I'd solve issues you are experiencing... Originally Posted by Moonbeam9067 1. How to I keep BIAB from making this apparently obligatory "end" bar with an auto chosen chord? Go Song Settings (CTRL+N or right-click on the chordsheet and select it from the right-click menu) Deactivate/uncheck "Generate 2-bar Ending' Originally Posted by Moonbeam9067 2.

I clearly don't understand the concept of deletion and this "ending" that BIAB places. Simply change the ending bar number to 114 in your song's set-up. The image below shows where to find that setting. Regards, --Noel ★ my latest song: This Tree MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2026 audios on Soundcloud

I just did an import of the Beatles I Saw Her Standing There according to your previous guidance a ways back and it went flawlessly. I had written extensive notes so that I would not forget any of the moves for importing, manipulating and stem splitting. Set the 1st bar just fine. Equalized the tempo, analyzed the chords, changed the chords that were wrong and now cleaned up the end thanks to you. Next up is to split out the stems and then transcribe the bass part which I will write out in Guitar Pro 8. I'm chuffed! Thank you so much.
