Hallo

Ik heb een vraagje over band in a box..

Ik gebruik band in a box voor het maken van een band waarbij ik zelf het gitaar gedeelte speel..
Heel veel (nou ja veel) heb ik al uitgevonden maar soms loop ik tegen een probleempje aan
Er zijn enkele liedjes waarbij het einde uit meer dan 2 delen bestaat..
B.v. wooden heart van Elvis.. hier staat aan het einde F C F C F C G C...
maar ik kan er maar 4 van de 8 invoeren .. hoe maak ik dat langer..?

Alvast bedankt en een goed 2010 toegewenst

Sorry for by bad englisch

Welcome to the forum, JTvD. By the way, there is a Dutch area if you prefer writing in Dutch.

You 'can only 4 of the 8 input'? I presume these are chords and you are trying to input 8 chords into one bar? You can't do this at the moment. BIAB will only resolve to 4 chords per bar. Wooden Heart is actually a very simple song and a straight 4/4. I believe you are trying to input 8/4 - meaning for every bar you are currently using there are in fact two bars. If you bear this in mind, you should have no problem with the ending

Rightclick on the bar before the two bar ending, choose "Song Settings" and examine and use the "TAG exists?" options.

You can set the number of bars for a TAG that will occur before the two bar ending happens.

I think that's what you are after.

Hi JTvD,

I take it that you mean there are red rectangles around certain bars in the chord view. If this is the case it means that those bars have had their settings modified (right-click on the bar and choose "Bar Settings..."). Such modifications might be tempo, instrument patch, or a number of other things. It's ok to play them.

Regards,
Noel

Ja, hoor! Ik weet het!

Most Dutch people have a reasonably good command of English though - unlike the Austrians.

Tinus, I'm sure Mike will help you if you need. He's a Dutchman from Friesland

No problem, it works well this way ...
All I've asked, I can do with your answers.

I had French lessons at school.
But here I totally understand nothing.
My English is from the TV .. also my German language.
I can read and speak well, but not write.
So for this I use Google translate
Only for you there will be no proper syntax.

I have another question.
I've tried but it did not work
I have many songs of Johnny Cash and Elvis.
Can i also put the text (lyrics) in BiaB on the right place with the cords
That if one can sing along played it and not have to read from a paper.

Sincerely,
Tinus

Tinus, jahoor!

Never mind the syntax. If you keep your questions short and to the point, we can help. Yes, you CAN make your own 'karaoke' versions. The great thing is you can place the lyrics where you want and the karaoke window will give you the lyrics and/or the chords to sing/play along with.

Holland is a beautiful country by the way. I spent two years living in Haarlem and hanging out in either Zandvoort or Amsterdam when I was 19-21. I still remember it fondly. I just don't know what happened to the Dutch girlfriend I had at the time (well, I do but I don't want to think about it)

But how do I do with the lyrics?
