Thanks Ray and Matt!

So I basically started off wrong then?
I named the song and started chord entry.

Then I didn't see anything obvious on the page to tell BIAB that it was a 3/4 song.

I was planning on choosing the style after chord entry.

So for 3/4 songs you need to remember to choose a 3/4 style before chord entry?

As I was entering the chords I went into bar settings and put 3 beats per bar for the first bar.
I guess that's wrong?



Can we expand on this thread. I think that you can indeed use a 4/4 style or any 4/4 RT and by placing 3 beats per bar you will simulate a 3/4 groove. This will also set the notation to show three beats per measure.

Or

As suggested use a 3/4 style where the chords are spread across two measures.

My question is, what is the difference??
