I'm making a backing track for Wildwood Flower which has 21 bars and I have set the number of choruses at 2 but for the second chorus it plays the chords but not the melody. I have ticked "loop of entire song enabled" but I still only get the chorus.

I'm using Windows 10 BIAB Ultrapak 2018

Did you record both verses of the melody or just the first. If just the first, there is a command to copy the melody to the remaining verses.

Just the first. I'd be grateful if you can tell me where the command is for copying the melody to the remaining verses.

Many thanks,

I learned something new! It's amazing what one can learn by browsing these forums, regardless of how long you've used BIAB. I'm predisposed to thinking that if you learned ten new things a day, it would take all year, at that rate, to semi-master the program.

Great Al,

Yes, the toolbox this product has is very deep. But you are not alone, we all continue to learn new tricks regularly.

Glad that this was helpful for you.

If the OP is using the built in repeat, as suggested by the text (set repeat to 2) there wouldn't be a need to have melody in the second chorus. Is there something else happening here?

As did I! That is because I never use copy from/to as I use copy. Now I see, finally, why there are two copy functions.

If it takes a year for you to semi-master BiaB then Al you are a much faster learner than I am!
