I have two questions and they basically center around how BIAB utilizes chords and chord relationships with the Melody and Chord generation tool. I find it a great starting point many times for ideas and it can almost be an electronic collaborator if you will.

First question is...many times I feel there are too many chords within these automatically generated arrangements. Is there a way to dumb them down...let's say like a Beatles style chordal structure of 4 chords for a verse and two chords for a chorus?

Second question is...I've used the Style Wizard with varying and surprising degrees of success from the importing of midi files. What seems to escape me is is...when importing a midi file into the Style Wizard and letting it analyze...I would also hope that it analyzes the general chordal mathematical relationship within that composition and saves it into that style as well. So that way...when trying to generate a new chord and melody arrangement through the Melody and Chord Generation tool and using this newly created style from the imported midi file...BIAB will generate something vaguely similar in nature.

Are either of these two questions a possibility and can some forum user either let me know how to do these two options or point me in the direction of how to figure it out? It would be a HUGE help. I've tried multiple searches in the manual, help files and the forums and I can't find an answer to the way i've phrased it above.

Thanks so much...
