as a reply to Shane the problem of 7ths instead of a normal major triad occurs when you change the key. that is acknowledged and Andrew explained why and it seems quite right to want it fixed. however, some posts did seem to suggest that it occurs without a key change and that in entering chords whilst the key remains the same, people get 7ths or 'jazz chords' when they want simple majors.

when i create a country or pop BIAB song - i admittedly stay in the same key - i don't get 'jazz chords'. and even in my three chord songs i can easily avoid the 7th on chords such as G in the key of C and D in the key of G.

so i was sharing my experience that 'jazz chords' are not a problem for me using the settings i do in BIAB. if people do get problems after changing the key, Andrew has made some suggestions - i hope i made some sensible ones too such as generating the whole song in A then opening in RealBand and transposing the ending up 2 semitones.

the drift i referred to was the suggestion that 'jazz chords' occur and you can't avoid them. apologies if anyone thought i doubted the validity of the original post referring to the key change.
