What I would do is this.

Open Band-in-a-Box and make all the settings you wish (tempo, verses, # bars, favorite key, default style, etc).

Then just save that file somewhere easily accessible; call it something like Template.sgu. I would then go to Windows Explorer and make it Read-Only. You could even make multiple templates, if you have a handful of settings you like to use. Just name the file appropriately.

Make sure you have set Band-in-a-Box to associate files in Windows Explorer. Now, when you want to start a new song with those settings, just double click on that template file. It will load into BIAB with your preferred settings in place.

Now add your chords and any other changes. If you try to just "save", it will tell you the file is read-only (so you won't overwrite it), and you'll have to do a save-as.
