Hi Leo,

1:
Did the song show that the length was 29 minutes on the top form caption, or did it actually play for 29 minutes?

I understand that BiaB simply checks the BPM (tempo) value for the first bar, and the number of bars, and determines the song length using this tempo start value. It doesn't 'look ahead' at other changes to tempo values within the song when calculating the predicted song length.

I'm interested to know if the song actually took 29+ minutes to play, or if that was the initial suggestion from the program only.

2:
When you mention 'and render it', does that mean 'Generate' the song, or render to an output audio file?
