Has anyone figured out a way to handle the time signature changes in Weber's “Memory”? It starts in 12/8 and there are good BIAB styles for that. Then it changes for one bar to 10/8. BIAB bar settings won’t let you change the number of beats in a bar to 10 (4 is max), and changing the style to the only 10/8 style available isn’t a smooth transition.
Cheers! -Alastair

Here's one version that treats the 10/8 bar differently: https://www.scribd.com/document/233906772/Memory-Cats
Asus Q500A i7 Win 10 64 bit 8GB ram 750 HD 15.5" touch screen, BIAB 2017, Casio PX 5s, Xw P1, Center Point Stereo SS V3 and EWI 4000s.

Thanks raymb1. It looks like that version just ignores the time signature change. That’s what I’ll have to do if I can’t figure out a way to get BIAB to handle it.

BIAB bar settings won’t let you change the number of beats in a bar to 10 (4 is max), and changing the style to the only 10/8 style available isn’t a smooth transition. Alistair, I'm not sure how much music theory you understand so I apologise if what I type below sounds patronising. Firstly, by way of background... 12/8 is actually a 4-beat, compound time signature. The difference between 4/4 and 12/8 is that the 4 beats in 4/4 are based on quarter notes (what we call crotchets here in Australia) while in 12/8, the 4-beats are based on dotted quarter notes. When looking at these beats a little closer, it can be seen that a quarter note can be subdivided into two eighth notes. A dotted quarter note, though, can be subdivided into three eighth notes (see image below).  How BIAB handles 12/8... If you load in a 12/8 style and then have a look at Notation View as the song plays, the time signature will most often be 4/4 and it's very easy to see the bar of four beats being played. Given the above, setting BIAB for a 9/8 or a 6/8 bar in a 12/8 song is not difficult because all that one would do is set the number of beats in a bar to 3 (for 9/8) and 2 (for 6/8). A bar of 10/8, however is harder to a accomplish. I'm not quite sure how to do that so that the Realtracks will play correctly. If you have BIAB for Windows, what I suggest you do is to load the song into Realband. One of Realband's big strengths is that all time signatures are possible. Regards, Noel
