I wasn't aware that the above two processes that I gave had been modified so that one now only needs locate the beat cursor and type a chord. That's a nice addition to the program! Thanks!

To add a little more information for you, in case it's useful...

If you want to enter a chord on beats 1 and 2, position the beat cursor between beats 1 and 3 and type the chords separated by a comma.

For example....

1. click on beat 1 of the bar (this will locate the beat cursor)

2. type c,am <enter>

3. this will put C on beat 1 and Am on beat 2.

Regards,
Noel





Thinks for this. Is the beat cursor the yellow vertical bar?
I found I can edit notes in notation view, but not add new ones.

Another unrelated question:
Often with, say, 4 by 4 timing the first bar has only one beat, and the last bar has only 3 beats. How can I make BIAB do that? And how can I make the last bar look like a last bar (thick and thin lines at the end of a bar).

I'm just trying to figure out the program by entering a 16 bar folk song with chords. Quite a learning curve!

Most of the styles seem to be for anything but folk or Celtic. I guess I need to buy more styles. But I can't seem to figure out what styles are in each package. It would be nice if they grouped the styles in packages according to genre, so you didn't have to buy a lot of styles you will never use.


Edit : "This Road" is lovely. Is the accompaniment a "style" ?
