Or this is a setting somewhere that I need to change? The style is _DIXIEMED Edit: Style is _DIXIMED Regards Bernt Last edited by berntd; 10/17/20 02:53 PM.

Any chance that your tracks re frozen?

These are found in "Song Settings" -- right-click on the chordsheet and select "Song Settings" from the menu. 1. Make sure that "Natural Arrangement" (#2 on image) is DISABLED for the song. 2. Make sure that "Force Simple Arrangement" (#1 on image) is activated. These changes will set BIAB play the chords as entered.

OP berntd Apprentice Joined: May 2019 Posts: 274 Sydney, Australia	Hello, Thanks for that. Force song to simple arrangements does not fix it. It does change the arrangement though in other ways. What seems to fix it is the Natural arrangement option. I changed it from "As per options" to "Disabled for this song" I have attached the difference in arrangements.

I do use Natural Arrangement sometimes because it can sound good on some songs, but not on songs where I want to hear specific upper extensions of chords. So, experiment. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

If the "Force simple arrangement" is off, this will stop BIAB playing 7th chords in place of majors (I think that this is its main purpose). Glad you got it working!

Why input the chords you want only for BB to ignore them and play a 'dumbed down' simplified version? If I want C - Am - F - G7 thats what I'll type.

C Am F G7 always had BIAB playing things like Cmaj7 Am7 F7 G7b9 just because BIAB always used AI to ‘jazz it up’ unless you specifically said not to and used a very simple style. No, where Natural Arrangement makes changes is if you enter more complex upper extensions like C13(#11) Am11 F13b9 G13sus. It’s very likely the RealTracks that were recorded by the artists did not play this exact progression. Yes, BIAB could play those chords but most keyboard and guitar players would simplify it. That’s what I think Natural Arrangement does. I think... BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

Planobilly Veteran Joined: Jul 2015 Posts: 2,533 Cow Country, Florida	I have found lately that certain instruments like steel do not always play the chord all other instruments are playing. Every chord I used, in the key of E major, was in key except a F#major. I had to mute out all the one bar F# major chords for the steel. Perhaps that one bar could be changed in Melodyne...I did not try. Just fire the steel player and get someone who can play...lol There are many seriously irritating things about BIAB.

If the RT can't or won't play what I ask,and I rarely go to 'Jazz' chords, I try a few alternatives. What I find curious however is when I've finished entering a series of quite 'normal' chords I often get a yellow box come up saying X percentage are fancy chords and consider NA. If I've purposely turned it off in Options,why flag it? Bests Ian Old Guys Rule.The older I get,the better I was!
