Copying flaw, when copying to the tag of a song #649097 03/29/21 01:25 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

E.g., I have a 32 bar song, with a 4 bar intro. I want to use the intro also as an outro. I copy bar 1 to 4 to bar 38. Now the song will not any longer be 4+32= 36 bars long, but 40 bars long. This also happens when I copy the intro to bar instead, to e.g. bar 42, thus skipping a whole line of (4) bars. Is this problem constant, when copying to the “tag” of a song? Tonnie

Secondly, what are your song settings as far as endings are concerned ( <Cntrl>-N )? If you adjust these to what you expect, does it resolve your issue?

My song settings are usually ready set (with the numbers of bars set), and a rudiment ending, using the "song settings", before I decide to enter an ending. Yet the ending will be added to the total number of bars, when using the copy tool. Tonnie

OK, it's established that you have the latest build, that's important to verify. I'm not sure what the issue might be. Others may know more.

I recall that if you have the number of choruses set to the default value of 3, then the target bar number must be in chorus 3. Probably build 827? Could you list the exact steps so we can try to duplicate the problem? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

If you use a tag ending you have to specify elements within the structure of the song. Then if you change the structure by adding new bars, you have to redo the tag ending to account for these new elements.
