This happens once in a while. Right now it's Happening on audiophile 16 which I use up stairs save the file then open it downstairs on audiophile 17.
In this particular case I began a song in the key of D and transposed it to the key of E for the last verse. Seems like there are some bad notes in that last verse. I think I've noticed it at other times in other projects but I'm wondering if there is a reason for this or if I have neglected to install a patch or something?

Steve,

When you "transposed to the key of E", did you check the lead sheet (or notation view) to see if the E major key signature is present at the key change bar? If it isn't, use F5 to set the key. That helps with BIAB choosing the correct chords.

Regards,
Noel

Thank you Noel,I want to edit highlighted the last verse, transposed from D up to E.
It's not necessarily that there are bad notes but it seems like the guitar has added a lot of 7th chords. I went to the notation and can't tell what to do there. The notation doesn't seem like the 7th chords are 7th chords. I hit F5 and for my highlighted portion selected the key of E up in the upper right quarter of that page. Still the 7th chords persist.

Try Edit-Chords-Jazz down chords. It should change 7th chords to triads.

Also...

Right-click on the chordsheet, select 'song settings' and activate 'force to simple arrangement'

Thanks Noel I'll try that.

Ray I did the jazz down-and it seems to have helped even though it also eliminated by minor sevenths which I liked. Maybe I will go back-and add those in

Unfortunately I think there May be a problem in the Celtic air style.
I've tried other styles Without that glaring problem.
That's a drag.
