Hi cajun,

Welcome to the forums.

I'm not sure that I'm understanding your post fully. For what it's worth, how I interpreted what you said is below.

Unless your songs all have the same chord progression, at some point you are going to have to enter chords.

The section you quote on page 40 of the manual, sounds like it's referring to BIAB's use of the word "Chorus". From a jazz perspective, a chorus means 'once through the entire song'.

When I write a song in BIAB, I always use a single chorus and enter the chords for bars 1 to whatever. This gives me total control over the blue and green part markers which help map sections. (Blue part markers are less energetic than green ones. For this reason, I usually use blue for intro, verses and bridge and green for choruses and ending.

With copy and paste for similar sections, it doesn't take that long to layout a song.

If you go to the link below, you'll see how I set out a song.
