Hi everyone,
I'm new to BIAB - I mainly intend to use it as a practice tool for jazz guitar comping/soloing.
I'm trying enter in a new song from what I'm reading off a lead sheet - but I'm not sure if there's an easy way to input things like repeat markings, 1st/2nd endings, etc...
For example, I'm trying to build "Four On Six" W. Montgomery:
INTRO: 16 bars total - 4 bars, followed by 4 bars of the 1st, then 2nd ending
HEAD: 16 bars total - 4 bars, followed by 4 bars of the 1st, then 2nd ending
SOLOS: 16 bars total, for an unspecified number of loops
Must I "expand" this out to one long song, except that I can specify where the "Chorus" is, and how many times it repeats?
I thought I saw one of the recent videos that showed repeat markings, but I can't figure out how to enable that - perhaps it is only for the Windows version.
It seems like a lot of videos use older versions of BIAB. On the one hand, the fundamentals of putting a song together might remain the same throughout the versions of the program, but on the other hand, seeing buttons/features that don't exist on new versions of the program just confuses things, in my opinion.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hey Jeff
I come from the windows version and now work with an IMAc. I have the latest version of BIAB. And to my knowledge there are no 1st and 2nd endings in the BIAB mac version. That's a real pain at first, but you get by with copying and pasting. I only use BIAB for inputting lead sheets, composing jazz themes and making audio files after. It doesn't affect me that much since I use a notation program to write and print out the scores. So I can copy and paste 10 times if I have to, I don't care how it looks in BIAB, as long as the resulting audio from BIAB follows the score.
But I agree, it is tiresome to copy and paste endlessly. One can wonder why they don't implement the same functions on each platform ?
