My system is Windows based and I'm unsure if you have a PC or Mac version of BIAB and I'm also unsure if this works with the Mac version of BIAB the same as the Windows version.

However, on my Windows BIAB I can input a looping command that does not highlight the looped section but rather, it highlights the bar playing just as BIAB does when it's not in looping mode so I see the bar playing and the Chord Chart appears as it normally does. When the looped section reaches the end of the loop, the highlighted bar jumps back to the first bar of the loop and continues the looping process. This allows me to clearly see where BIAB is playing on the Chord Chart. I can stop the loop playing with the spacebar and hitting space bar again and the loop continues to play from the bar it stopped on. I can also stop loop play and select any bar within the loop and the loop will continue from that bar forward and continue looping.

To do this on the BIAB Windows version:

. Select any bar on the Chord Chart. It doesn't matter if there's already a Chord placed in the chart. The Chord returns once you hit the Enter Key.
. Type the command in the bar: L4,1 and enter. The L commands BIAB to enable looping. The 4 is the number of bars to loop. The comma separates the number of bars to loop from the bar you want looping to begin at. In this example the beginning bar is 1.

This command instructs the song to begin playing at bar one, play for 4 bars and loop back to bar 1. L2,9 will loop 2 bars beginning at bar 9.
Follow this procedure to loop any number of bars beginning at any bar.

Hopefully, this process will work for you regardless of which version you have.
