I want to practice lead guitar to a simple 12-bar ballad, so in a new song I have Start at 1, End at 12 x 3 choruses. Repeat dots : show up in bar 12, and x3. I enter my chords - C, F, G etc. Hit play, and 12 bars play o.k. - then "cursor" goes back to bar 1, but the music coming out just continues on the G ... like forever! I've looked in the Manual for an answer and can't find it... BiaB Pro for Mac download only - no other add -ons or gizmos... Yet. Singer / guitarist / mandolin / piano .... making music in the North of England.

Forever is a very long time ( ), but I guess you have a real problem. You don't have to wait forever to know that. Presumably the track aren't frozen? Presumably the repeat is set at bar 12: Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2017-12-07_21-31-24.jpg (16.46 KB, 102 downloads) BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

On BIAB for Mac I've sometimes had to actually generate twice to seemingly get changes to "stick". Macbook Pro 2018 2.6 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM OS Monterey BIAB for Mac 2022

jford Veteran Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 12,584 Pensacola, Florida	Normally, BIAB picks up that some changes have been made and then automatically generates the new arrangement, especially if changes have been made to the chord grid. But I have found that other changes don't always invoke the re-generation. So, then you need to explicitly regenerate the song using the other button.

You're very welcome! I always feel happy on those rare occasions when I can help someone else here, in a small payback for all the help I've received! jford, this is one of the quirks I've seen in BIAB for Mac, after switching from the PC platform 5 or so years ago - that the expected regeneration doesn't always seem to occur. As I mentioned, I sometimes have to hit "Regenerate and Play" twice... Last edited by babarton; 12/09/17 05:15 AM.
