If you enter C5, you only get a chord composed of two notes, C and G. No third (E).

What? ...I may be reading this out of context .

If we are talking Midi, than what you get when you enter C5 will be differenct every time you hit play, for every midi track and occassionally it may be a root - fifth but most of the time it will very between many other options which fit nicely along with a C5. The emphasis (likelyhood of specific voicing) will be dictated by the sytle. BIAB will not play a specific voicing any more than any two musicians will play the some voicings of a specific chart (unless the band leader says ", hey you, I want it this way!"). This point is what most newbees don't comprehend. Only way would be to edit the midi line and freeze the track.

You can easily verify this by loading differenct syles, entering a C5 and viewing the notes played for each instument. In this case could get a root - fifths but also thirds and any other passing notes both in scale and out again depending on the style. Specific voicings for chord can not be specified in BIAB.

But before I call you out on this, (Heck, your the man here ), perhaps there is a style which would restricts itself to root five on a C5.
