When I click on "Help", and scroll down the topic, I see the following:

Examining The Form Of A Song

Right-click on Chord Sheet then select Repeats/Codas/1st- 2nd Endings and click on the [Show form…] button.

This displays a summary of the form of the song as examined by Band-in-a-Box. This is useful for analyzing the form of the song, in case you want to add your own repeats and endings manually, and want a quick summary of the form. Band-in-a-Box shows you the form in 2-bar sections. A typical AABA song might display a form like this.

0, 1, 2, 3

0, 1, 2, 4

5, 6, 7, 8

0, 1, 2, 4

Each of these numbers represents a unique 2 bar section of the song. You can see the first section (0, 1, 2, 3) is similar to the second section (0, 1, 2, 4) in fact they differ only in the last 2 bars. So this would be a good candidate for a 1st/2nd ending. Also the last A section of 0, 1, 2, 4 is identical to the 2nd A section, so would be a good candidate for a DC al Coda symbol.
