Hello,

An excellent addition would be REMEMBERED SELECTIONS
in chord options. This is because one uses the
same chords, throughout a song, [in different variations.]
But currently one has to retype the chord options over
and over again.

REQUEST. Cache the chords used with a handy select function.

thanks

If you don't want to retype chords you can use Biab Chord Picker Tool.

Look at the Tools button, Form, Song Form Dialog.

On a somewhat easier level, it's possible in several ways to do a block copy of your chords in the chordsheet.

I believe what KGU 2 is suggesting is to be able to take a chord progression used in song A, save the progression and then apply the progression in song B.

As an example, Microsoft Word allows a user to have multiple word documents open at the same time and use copy, cut and paste to exchange information between the documents. Band-in-a-Box has a preference setting that allows multiple instances of the program but information can not easily be shared.

Oh. If that's the request, then yes, copy/paste between instances of BIAB has not been implemented. I believe user Pipeline contrived some solution to this, though.

But I don't think that was the original question; I thought it was just avoiding retyping the chords in one song to multiple places. And that's easy. When we hear back with some clarification, we can give a few methods.

Yes it was this, retyping in the chord settings box. I find
I have to continually enter the same chord over and over again.

thanks!
