A beginner question.
I have built a song. in a certain style, I built a verse, and a chorus and would like to put in an 8 bar solo. I cannot figure out how to make the solo 8 bars and go back to the style of the song. I know this is easy. But I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
Thank you
Don

Play with the song settings dialog and the Edit/Insert Bars feature.
If your verse and chorus (which is one chorus in BIAB lingo)repeat you may need to make a Tag. A "jumps to tag after bar __". Add your 8 bars needed for the solo and then copy/paste your verse and chorus inside the tag to the end of the solo so you can have them play again if desired.
Set the last bar to a high number so you have room to finagle your bars in there. Set the actual ending bar later after you are certain where it should be.
Example:
Into is bar 1 - 4.
Song begins (and begins repeats) on bar 5.
Plays your verse and chorus from bar 5 - bar 36.
Repeats = 2 times. So it goes back to 5 - 36 again.
Tag Begins at bar 37, 37 - 44 are for solo. Bars 45 - 81 (inside the tag) are a copy/paste of your verse and chorus. Make 81 your last bar.
Or;
Add more bars for your ending or use (generate 2 Bar Ending for this song.
Let us know if that gets you there.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Oh, to change a style at a bar right click on the bar number. Choose Bar Settings. Change the style.
Don't forget to change back to the original style after your solo if desired.

Tobias,
Thank you for getting back to me. I do most of my songs in linear fashion. Seems tags don't work that way. I want to put a sax in a blues song at bar 36 and go for 8 bars. Do I still use a tag??? Sorry I'm struggling a bit.
Don

Oh, are you wanting to have BIAB Soloist feature do a Sax solo for 8 bars from bar 36 thru bar 43?
Sorry, I would have to walk through it on my end to be sure of my instructions. But, I'm trying to solve a RAM issue on my BIAB computer.
Anyone else want to jump in?
