I am new to Band in a Box, but not to DAW's in general. I am trying to create a song in 3/4 time using the Chord Entry screen, but the chord entry screen only has two inputs per bar. It seems to me if that if my time is selected for 3/4 and the style selected is 3/4, then I should be able to input 3 chords per bar. Instead I can only input 2 chords per bar unless I split one input section using a comma (I.E. A,D for example).
Am I missing something? Should I expect three chord inputs per bar when in 3/4 time?
NOTE: When I switch to score view the sheet music is in 3/4 time (three beats per measure) but the chord view still only has two inputs per bar.
Thanks in advance for any comments and tips.
Ed

First of all, to create a 3/4 (waltz) song, you must use a 3/4 style.
Then, you see that each bar has two cells. In a 4/4 song, you can enter two chords in the first cell separated by a comma, which will be beats 1 and 2. Then you can enter two chords in the second cell separated by a comma, which will be beats 3 and 4.
For a 3/4 song, however, you enter beats 1 and 2 in the first cell (separate the chords with a comma), then enter beat 3 as the first entry in the second cell. That completes your 3 beats to that bar.
Go to the next bar to enter up to 3 chords (beats 1 and 2 in the first cell; beat 3 in the second cell).
If you only want a chord on beat 2, but not beat 1, then just enter a comma and the chord for beat 2, and it will just continue with the previous chord on beat 1.
Hope that made sense.

In addition to John's answer, if you should enter anything in the second half of the second cell (which would be beat 4 in a 4/4 song), it will be ignored.

To both of you.
Thank you. That should help a lot.
I had a feeling the answer was similar to that but could not find it explained as you both just have.
Again thanks.
