dear pg.
a couple of little biab 2022 wishes.
1. user defined chords for use in the biab chord sheet.
ive noticed over the years , sometimes a user wants a chord possibly not in the list of chords in the biab chord builder set. it might be a dissonant or oddball chord or whatever.
thus i propose the user be allowed in biab to define in prefs up to 5 such chords.
lets call them X chords for user defined chords. the user would , useing a dialog, define the notes in each chord and save the dialog. THEN in the biab chord sheet...eg
c,X1 or X3, d or whatever as per currently or by itself eg X5 could even have a hold or a push/whatever.
ie X chords are treated similarly to normal chords and can have the same properties.
of course this would only be doable in midi. i dont know bout RT's cos i dont know biab internals.
the above feature might save some time by users in notation view or piano roll view entering special chords ?
2. another idea that might be usefull. sometimes i have to spend too much time in the chord builder trying to find the right chord for a certain time slot in a song. most times i know the notes i want in my head, and identify them on the guitar. then i'm left figuring ..what oddball chord is this in the chord builder ?
(i'm not talking simple chords , but extensions etc)
mario was kind enough to point out a site on the net where one enters notes and the chord is displayed.
would it be too much trouble to do this in biab ?
i'm thinking some people might be on holiday somewhere
with no net availability.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

I previous reported this to development, but I'll add this forum thread to the report in case if there is further discussion on the ideas here.
User defined chords may not necessarily work for RealTracks since those are made from audio recordings. But it might be a possibility for MIDI tracks.

With all the MidiSuperTracks you should be able to snap them to any chord/scale other than what they were recorded to. With RapidComposer I can drop a MidiSuperTrack phrase into it and it will refit it to any chord/scale, it's high time Biab can be made to do this along with having an option to snap notes in the Piano Roll to chord/scale marked by colors. Likewise the same could be done with RealTracks if PG did a deal with Celemony (Melodyne) so it could be integrated into Biab to work with the RealTracks only during the generate process, not any user added audio track, this way they would still need to purchase Melodyne proper for this.

Yes, it is very necessary, musically, to be able to force a b9 chord to play as a b9 chord, and not have some natural 9ths thrown in there. Or to force a b13 not to play as a 13, etc.

Welcome to the forum, Zmack. Of course it is. But before we can comment on your statement, it would be helpful to know what you have experienced. I do not hear the wrong chord if I use MIDI. I might hear the wrong chord if I use RealTracks AND I have Natural Arrangement turned on, which it is by default. But mine is not on.
So tell us more, because we probably do know the answer, either yes or no or a workaround.

Hi,
I have BIAB 2020 and yes, real tracks keeps playing the wrong harmonies despite what I specify, even when I turn off Natural Arrangement. My issue is that we shouldn't be forced to work around such a weakness/flaw using MIDI. I feel strongly that Real tracks, which is really a stringing together of various chord samples, should be able to play these oft-used chords as written. Or at least we should have a feature where we can force the Real Tracks not to choose a chord with a natural 9 or 13, when we specify b9 and b13.
