Dear PG Music,

the Intro tool needs to be improved really, especially for Fold/Traditional styles. Moreover, again, "alien" maj7, 6, 2 type chords are really OUT of any musical sense when generating Intro bars for Folk/Traditional styles.

BB needs to take care to don't "jazz-ify" all kind of chords and style of music. Please have a limit. We don't need always Jazz! If BB includes no Jazz styles, so that styles must sound in the proper way, otherwise let's call it JAZZ-BAND-in-a-BOX!

Thanks. Regards.

First, this is a user's forum if you need to communicate with PG Music directly, contact Support.

Second, this question comes up all the time with noobies and is no problem at all. You should go easy with the SHOUTING CAPS! when you don't know what you're talking about. It can be very helpful for you to use the forum Search function, this question has been asked and answered many, many times.

To answer your question, look up "jazz up/down the chords" or it may be called "simplify chords" in the Help file.

Please talk correctly as I did. I know perfectly what I'm talking about. It does not simplify nothing! And if you have the solution, you can just write down here. Which is the other sense of the Forum? Talk about war in the world or football?

Unbelievable which kind of people is around in this world. But please!

Also from a previous thread found using Forum Search:

How's that?

Hope you don't mind my saying but it sounds as though you haven't played around with the MIDI-only styles too much. When using the MIDI-based styles, deactivating chord embellishment causes straight chords to be played. There's a very a large number of MIDI styles. Personally, I have found these styles to be very useful.



Regards,
Noel

There is a huge cultural and language gap here.

I suspect some understanding of far away cultures and stuff might be in order.

Either that or there is another factor at play.

As far as other factors, the neighbours heading to work will all be late. They forgot about the very heavy frost and can't get their cars un'froze' this morning. The windscreens have a quarter of an inch of ice.

Now the cute young thing leaning over her car in the mini-skirt trying to scrape off the ice has put a nice smile on my face, the sun is just peeking over the rooftops and the skirt is flirting...never mind. Nice medications I take. But the aforementioned is true, despite Puff the magic dragon in a capusule stuff....ah.

...and, did you manage to use your cell phone,
from the ground up...ahh no, much to old to do anything
but "shiver your timbers"!

Feel sorry about the frosty mornings...seems I remember some of those
in Chicago's windy clime!!

Gosh...only +75 down here, and I had to turn on the heater this cool
cool morning...we're in for a cool weekend with "rip currents" making
it difficult to fight the parallel tides...but, it will be creeping back
up into the eighties this coming week.

Come on down!! Got a Holiday Inn Suites and Sam's Club less than a mile
from me...get your "tea" at a discount and boogie on the beach...

It's sad to read such bad-mannered comments. It costs nothing to be polite, even if English is not your home language. You'll get far more help if your posts are friendly.
