+1 for providing a "Play style using chords from chord sheet" option.

It would be nice for RealBand to address two limitations of the Band-in-a-Box (BiaB) feature. The user should be able to:

Select the quantity of bars to generate (BiaB always generates four bars).

Select a range of bars to generate (BiaB always generates bars 1 - 4).

These feature additions enables the user to audition a style across various song sections like intro, verse, chorus, bridge or pre-chorus.

Regarding selecting the quantity of bars to generate in BIAB Style Picker, uncheck the 4 Bar Preview Button and BIAB will continue beyond the first 4 bars and play the whole song or until the user stops playback.

Plus One for suggestion number 2 to select any range of bars.
(Of course there's a quick and easy work around until this wish is granted in a future release.) wink

Charlie, your statement is true. However, when the 4 bar preview box is unchecked, the complete song generates. Generating the whole song is a time waster. Especially when a user is trying multiple styles to match the feel of a specific section of the song.

Thanks for supporting justanoldmuso's suggestion and for your comment regarding my ideas. It's great to be able to be able to discuss ideas so PG Music can consider all viewpoints.

Regarding the above issue, the work around I mentioned in my earlier statement addresses this.
