OK folks, I'm new to everything so I'll try to keep it intelligent. When entering chords in biab how can I enter or force 16th note chops or hits and intro hits as in Johnny B. Goode? I've figured out some rests but these elude me. Thanks

Look under Pushes in the manual. This may be what you want.

You can Push forward by an eighth note by preceding the chord with a caret (^)

You can Push forward by a sixteenth note by preceding the chord with two carets (^^)

E.g. ^G or ^^G

Yes, it’s under Help, Pushes Shots Holds.

BIAB has a limit of four chords per measure. There are some workarounds.

Can you give us more detail on what you want to do?

Not my genre but as I recall the song, those would be four eighth notes on One of Those Nights, wouldn't they?

Yes. I did a Biab cover of this song and that's how I handled that measure. I also had to increase the tempo for that bar to get it to sound out correctly as I recall.
