If I understand the question correctly then this is EXACTLY what the metal soloists do (unlike all the other soloists). By default the metal soloists play just in the key of the song and do not follow the chord changes. If you want to force them to follow chord changes then you have to put a '5' after the chord name.

One problem in particular is that you can't seem to enter the '5' after minor chords (BIAB just ignores it) so I am not sure what the soloist is doing when it encounters these chords.

In my view it would be much better to have a song level switch to make the soloist follow the chords or not. (Although with the current setup I guess that you could make either choice in different parts of the song - I don't know enough about metal soloists to know whether this is something they would change mid-song).


If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor.
