Last chord is sustained, but suddenly a chord plays even though I've deleted the chord and no chord symbol appears in the bar. How do I stop the chord from playing? I'm not getting this. Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. Is the chord you're hearing part of a backing you've created? If so, there are a few possible things that could be causing this... 1. Did you regenerate the backing after deleting the chord? The change isn't registered until regeneration is completed. 2. Are any tracks frozen? If so then unfreeze the track and re-generate the backing. 3. Did you render the backing to an audio file (wav or mp3) before deleting the chord? If this is the case, it could be that the audio file is playing along with backing track. To check this, have a look under the "Audio" menu and, if necessary, kill the audio. Regards, Noel

Good tips from Noel.
Also, exactly how did you sustain the last chord? Can you describe what it looks like? Your song length, and which bar you sustained the chord in

Ideas:
Make your song longer by changing the Bar at End of Chorus number.
Go to the last chord that BIAB automatically places after your repeat sign or Tag and add a period after it.

What Matt said. You need to give the command to "Rest" But, you may need to add a new chord in the bar just after where you want your sustain to end and place a dot/period at the end of the chord.
Like this.
/C.../ /C. /
If this is the end of a song and you are not using the BIAB generated 2 bar ending it may help to add/leave a few more blank bars after that last rest then place another rest chord on the very last bar. +
Like this;
/C... / /C. / / / /C. /
I find that some styles behave better this way.
Worst case is; add a few extra bars as described. Convert to .WAV. Open in a DAW, such as Audacity, and edit off the last chord after the few bars of silence.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Also, if you just sustained your last chord, but forgot to turn off the 2-bar ending (see song settings), the 2-bar ending will play after the sustained chord.

Oh, and there is a little trick you need to look out for:
If you have a held chord as the last sound in your song, then the next chord with the period (which means, rest all instruments) must be a different chord. It can be any chord except the exact last held chord. [Most times, I just put C. since I write jazz and it's almost impossible a CMajor chord with no extensions would be my last played chord.]

All this stuff sounds arcane but you get used to it quickly.

Thanks Matt. I've had frustrations getting proper held chord behavior at end of songs. I'm going to try and remember this next time.

OK, I regenerated and still have ghost chords playing. It's at the end of the song. I made the song 128 bars to have plenty of additional bars after my last chord that I made sustain by entering D... in the last bar of my song. There's still and end with a chord, but it's a ways away from my song end. Then, I decided to do a rit on the bar before my last chord. It had 4 beats in the bar with a C then G getting two beats each before my last chord D... so I right clicked on the bar with the C and G and selected Bar Settings. I made the bar 2 beats, and slowed to 105 bpm from 115. I removed the G chord then right clicked again and added a bar. In this new bar I placed my G chord, right clicked and selected Bar Settings. I made this bar 2 beats and slowed to 95 bpm from 105 bpm in the previous bar. Then regenerated, and the rit was nice, but the last bar with the D... is now a 2 beat bar. I didn't want that. And all subsequent bars are now 2 beat. so it races thru those bars, and after the 3 two beat bars of sustain a chord plays at the beginning of each remaining 2 beat bar. I regenerated but it makes no change. I tried entering G. in the forth two beat bar after the sustained D... and it mutes that bar. But the fifth bar sounds that ghost chord. I say ghost chord because those bars are empty of a chord symbol. But still the sound.

K, I opened the song and tried it again, but this time on my last sustained chord right clicked, selected Bar Settings and put it to 4 beats for the last measure and all is well.
