Hi Jim,

Pedal point is term that's used when the bass stays on a constant note while the chords change above it. Here's a link to an article in Wikipedia that explains it more fully.

For example ...

If I entered the chord progression C Am/C Dm/C G/C C then "C" is the pedal point. This is a classical technique that's used by composers to create tension.

Rather than entering the above by chord notation, it's possible to get BIAB to do this using "Chord Settings".

Have a look at this thread where I explain in more detail.

Hope this helps,
Noel
