How do I create a backing track for West Coast Blues that has the changes for the Head different from the solo choruses changes with the traditional form of: Head+repeat, solo choruses, Head?

Someone must have solution to this. Can't seem to find one in the forums.

I'm stuck !!!

Thanks.

The easiest would be to unfold the track (into one long tune), but then you will be stuck with the number of choruses in that file.

I know. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

Hi CliveR

Just a thought but have a look at the Conductor Window as I have found this a useful tool

Here is what I do.
1-set the chorus to start=1, end=x (number of chords in the song-this can be changed as needed), number of choruses=1. It would look like this 1-x-1.
2-input the head chorus
3-input the second head chords
4-input solo choruses chords
5-in put head #3 chords.

Below is a simple 16 bar example:

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Besides the Conductor mentioned by Brian, and the Bar for End of Chorus described by Mario, there is another possibility.

Look in the upper right where you can click on File, View, Tools etc. Click on Tools and then Form (it's marked AABA) and then Song Form Dialog. You have a lot of quick flexibility there. I added that icon to my Custom settings.

I have it set up like this: 1st 24 bars head (w/repeat), chorus numbers (second set of chords) set to 25-48, x number of repeats, head (w/repeat) + coda.

P.S. Bars 49 on out need to be set up as an ending. When you add repeats bar numbers will change.
