Hello Mike.
I use BIAB mainly to write out lessons for teaching. as many of my students are young and/or new to music i need to keep the licks and scales in the first position.

What i do is go to the 'guitar chord solo' and create my own solo style.

for example:

- i use the melody or soloist patch (sometimes both for duets)
- the guitar patch is 'whatever you like"
- frets to move is 5 and i click 'force open position'
- all the chord %'s are set to 0, as in this instance i am writing single note exercises
- depending on the exercise i may - or may not - include open strings

Be sure to give it a name and put what is happening in the Memo.

This works pretty good for me. I have different homemade solo styles for different exercises.

I would think you could adapt this for your scale exercises at the different positions on the neck.

Hope this helps.

be well
