When I select a style with 6/8th time:

-all styles are "swing"
-most styles mention the word "jig"
-no styles mention the word "march"
-there are 4 groups of 3 dotted lines so 12 dotted lines altogether.
Does each dotted line represent an 8th note or a 16th note?

I am trying to enter "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and getting very confused.

Lesley,

Try a StylePicker search using the term "march" for the filter. I found several marches, all are midi and none are 6/8 time.

I also filtered using the song name. The StylePicker recognized the song and suggested a RealTracks folk style.

But all the sheet music I can find for "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is in 6/8 time.

You could write it in 4/4 and play it as triplets. However, yes, the song is definitely written in 6/8. What about choosing a Celtic style and then changing some instruments (create your own version of a style)?

I'm sorry but I don't have a different answer for you as I play by ear. Perhaps other users have other thoughts. frown

Lesley,

Here's a thread that might also help with additional understanding about BIAB and 6/8.

Try picking the _FLKSWAG style form the style picker.

Or try filtering the Stylepicker for "Slipjig" styles.

These might make a good starting point. I am pretty sure you will want to find another drummer in Realdrums. Also try adding some of the "Slipjig" instruments from the realtracks.
