In BIAB, I cannot find any style with 5/4 or 7/4 time signature. This would be useful to play Dave Brubeck's compositions like "Take five", " Far more blue" or "Unsquare dance" .....

Error, i finally found 3 styles in BIAB 2014 Megapack that have a 5/4 signature. You have to open the Style picker, without filtering anything, and there is a chapter near the end of the list for odd number time signatures.

However, the styles that i found do not fit very well with the Dave Brubeck tunes. Unless these styles exist in upper BIAB versions like the Everything Pack, it would be nice do develop appropriate styles , in Midi or (better) in real style.

BIAB does not recognize 5/4 natively. With the edit menu you can ask for 5/4 but BIAB considers that it is 3/4+2/4 . It would be nice to have a true 5/4 in BIAB 2016 ! Thank you!

Sure that it would be nice to have a real 5/4 without waiting a new B in a B release. Finally i found that a style like "54_even" sounds like a 5/4 time signature. But it works only if the time signature is 4/4 in B in a B !!

With this style you can make an accompaniement for Dave Brubeck compositions like "Take five" or "Far more blue". You just have to enter the chords. But I dont know how to enter the melody ! Better play it with your music instrument and not with B in a B .....

Yeah, BiaB does a 'fake' 5/4 beat over 4/4 time. It works (kinda).

Realband handles 5/4 more accurately (though differently) so it may be worth a shot.
