Cheers Mike.


That 32 is just the default number of bars for the chorus repeat NOT the total number of bars allowed for your song.

There's 3 numbers in a row there, the first one is what bar the chorus repeat starts with, it defaults to 1, the second one is the default 32 for the length of your chorus and the third one is the number of chorus repeats you want, the default is 3. You have full control over all three of those numbers.

You can have an intro section that could be 85 bars if you wanted and then the chorus repeat would start at bar 86 and it too could be as long as you want. Same at the end. If your chorus repeat goes 50 bars and it repeats 5 times you could then have a 100 bar tag ending. Of course these are exaggerations. Most intros might be 8 or 12 bars but depending on the song it can be much more than that and the same with the endings. Biab's official "ending" is only 4 bars but you can create a tag ending of almost any length.

Then in addition to all that there's the brand new for 2013 song sections function. It's the black and white icon AABA. That's very cool and useful, read the help file in that window.
