I have set up a very simple song that consists of standard major and minor cords, and one E+ chord that I'm using occasionally in the Verses or the Chorus. When I play the song I get this message at the bottom right of the screen in yellow:
"11% of the chords are complex (9ths, 13ths). To improve arrangement, consider setting Natural Arrangement to allow re-interpretation of these."
When I activate NA in the song settings, my "E+" chord plays as an E. I do need that E+. Any suggestions??? Tks.

That particular suggestion message is relatively new to BIAB, they just added it a couple of years ago. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, I use a lot of 7th and 9th chords by design, why would I want to simplify them??
So, disable that Natural Arrangment to get back to the chords you want for your song. You can also disable that message from being displayed, not sure where off the top of my head.

That's correct, you can turn it off for the song or globally, I think.
We've had some discussion about those percentage numbers and in my opinion they don't quite match what they should be. I do agree with the principle of the feature, to make transitions between chords more natural with better voice leading and fewer register jumps.

Yes, I'm in BIAB now.
You can turn it off globally by Options->Preferences->Arrange. At the bottom left are the settings for natural arrangements.
I have "natural arrangements" set to disabled, and have "Show message" set to Never.

This is why, as I mentioned above:
"to make transitions between chords more natural with better voice leading and fewer register jumps"
If the chords being used are not complex, then I am not sure what value this feature would have. The difference is noticeable in jazz.
