In BIAB 2013, is there any way to loop a particular chorus (say #3) without having to type in every single chorus of the song? It seems that the notation window is only looping the 4 bars on screen - I want to loop the whole chorus.
If not, has that been fixed in 2014? It is pretty annoying as it stands right now.

Can you just highlight it Copy & Paste ?
Edit: you should have in Edit menu Unfold to 1 big chorus then go down to the 3rd chorus highlight it copy it and paste it on the next bar below.

Yes, that's what I did, copy and paste the whole thing 6 times (the tune is choruses). Inelegant, but works.
I was just wondering if this was fixed in the new version. You can jump to a bar/chorus easy enough, but nothing more as it stands in 2013.

That is a feature existing in windows version, it's called conductor, and it is really useful because let you jump where you want while the song is playing. I think and hope the guys at PG will add the feature to mac version soon.

I have 2014 but I just put the Band-in-a-Bax_2013.app in and it has Edit > "Unfold to one big Chorus" also, so you should only have to copy n paste 1 chorus after you Unfold it.
In Realband it is just linear, that should be out in 2016 for Mac.

If you got the '15 now, then maybe try the "Song Form"? It isn't a 'fix' as such, but makes doing repetitive typing less of a chore as it does it for you.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Cemil,
This may be a silly question but what do you need to loop chorus 3 for? The way BIAB is designed, all choruses are identical as far as chord progressions go. The only difference is that Chorus #2 uses the B partmarker instrumental and drum pattern.
Is there a musical advantage that looping Chorus #3 six times gives you as opposed to setting the number of choruses to 8?
Kind regards,
Noel
