For an alternating 4/4 - 3/4 song, you should choose a 4/4 style first, before entering chords.


In a word, yes.

One other thing to keep in mind, though, is that BIAB also has a "Strauss-in-a-Box" feature under the "Melody, Edit Melody Track, Utilities" submenu, which allows you to convert a 3/4 song to 4/4 song and vice versa. If the song is already a 3/4 (waltz) song (because you have a waltz style loaded), it will ask you for a 4/4 style and somewhat intelligently spread out the chords and adjust the MIDI melody to play in 4/4. Likewise, if the song is already a 4/4 song (because you have a 4/4 style loaded), it will ask you for a waltz style and again, somewhat intelligently reduce the chords and adjust the MIDI melody to play 3/4. This feature was added long before RealTracks, so I don't actually know what happens if the melody track is a RealTrack (and I'm not at my music machine to test it).
