so i guess based on what peter and music trax said above...it's more based on density and percentages then an telling BIAB...come up with an 'exact number of chords'?

if that's the case when editing a melodist...what parameter specifically controls the chord density and if it's a percentage...should it be set to a higher or lower percentage based on what i want to achieve?

i gotta tell you...my desires may be a little self serving (lol) BUT...in terms of BIAB being a 'songwriting' partner...what i'm describing would be a great feature. so much of what is there already is SO close. choosing the key of a song and bpm...and then being able to apply style filters after a chord progression has been generated. but sometimes the chord progressions don't quite feel naturally singer/songwriter'y. it seems like it gets a little rambunctious just cramming as many chord changes within a typical verse section. i get that it's 'artificially' generated and that's where the 'collaboration' comes in. brian eno used to suggest that in collaborating with machines that the human component of the writing partnership would still have to impose a certain bit of it's taste and decision making rationale on what the computer was coming up with.

i want to dumb it down a bit just to make it smarter. make sense?
