The internal workings of the main engine of Biab has deficiencies with respect to chords and harmony as a whole. The basis of Biab's chord suffix usage is from a book by Carl Brandt and Clinton Roehmer, which includes similar lackings.

Tertian harmony includes all possible chords. An overhaul of the Biab engine is necessary to include them.

Why don't you write up some synopsis, such that everyone can see what you mean.

Wow!! When is that(!) gonna happen??




When there is a value shift in the marketing strategy (strategies?) for Biab. To cover all the chords included in tertian harmony and to include a mask for each is within programming means. As has been proven thusfar, most of the chords in this extensive list are usually not used. But, in the future, the aim of handling chords and harmony may take on the "no man left behind" policy. In such case, this list will suffice.

A lot of these chords you list can be achieved by copying the chord part to the melody channel then using the melody harmony to add a single note to each chord. Employ a melody harmony with just one voice... the low root ...shifted up an octave or two.
Copy and paste your original changes to a different part of the sheet..then change the chord in the chord sheet to whatever note you want to add to each chord in the appropriate bar. (copy and paste your original changes back in once you've converted the melody harmony to the melody.)

Many of the chords you list are perhaps better described as tonal chromatic harmony, where the original quality is deliberately obscured by adding non-scale neighbour tones to the root 3rd 5th and 7th 9th etc. Very useful for jazzers seeking an 'outside' approach.

I take your point though that the program should support any user defined chord. Such a feature has been available in programs like Jammer pro and Super Jam for years.
It seems as if the way BIAB was originally written makes an overhaul of the core engine unlikely without a knock-on effect on virtually everything else in the program. That would certainly explain why an otherwise simple routine hasn't been implemented by now.

Regards

Alan

The internal workings of the main engine of Biab has deficiencies with respect to chords and harmony as a whole.

Tertian harmony includes all possible chords.




Ed, I agree very strongly with your first statement, which represents my long-held major peeve with BIAB.

Your second quoted statement is misleading, however. There is a large range of non-tertian chord structures, such as modally arranged chords, quartal chords, cluster chords, et al. In context, a tertian interpretation of those would be a misunderstanding.

It would be better to allow user defined chords over the tertian chords shown. There are actually some lackings in tertian harmony alone as it approaches atonality.
