I have not got the tune in from of me, but I seem to remember Impressions goes through three dorians (in one interpretation anyways) BTW its in Aebersold 56 if I recall).

I wonder how BIAB treats the voicings when the key is set to only one of these?



It won't. This boils down to the oft repeated question "why can't Biab give me the voicings I want?"

You've been around these forums quite some time now Zero. You've read this before I'm sure. Biab is designed to give us what it thinks should work based on the style. AFAIK there is no Impressions style but you can make one and if you do post it for the rest of us. The original version played by McCoy Tyner uses the So What chords in a different rhythm. Those chords are very specific and you can't write out exact voicings in Biab but you can create a style using those voicings but even then those voicings will not play exactly the same all through the song because of the weightings. And, you still wouldn't get the exact rhythm. This leads us to the other oft repeated question about using Biab to create exact covers of classic songs. Can't do that very well either.

To the OP, there's always workarounds. Now we can write those parts out in midi on the piano track and then freeze the track. This is completely independent of the style and whatever you wrote will play exactly the same way every time. I can't remember if 2010.5 has the freeze track function or not, it it doesn't then whatever you wrote onto the piano track is getting regenerated as soon as you hit play. Time marches on, 2010.5 is already ancient history.
