"The problem is that Biab doesn't accept these 'chords' :-("

Hi Superbron,

I do notice there is a lot of discussion as to how to get BIAB to play various types of chords.

Do you already play an instrument? The workaround I do when coming across either BIAB not containing the particular chord configuration or the RT not having been programmed with the chord is to select a chord closest to my desired chord that is missing in BIAB/RT. Then, I will play the missing intervals on my guitar or piano. In the case of the "C,G,A" chord specifically because you do not want the 3rd (E) in the chord to be played I would set the BIAB to a "C5" and play the format you have described on your live instrument or voice for that matter.

I may be speaking alone here being one who is still trying to learn all the complexities to this program. But, when I think of what BIAB is supposed to do in that of accompaniment, it is not foreign to my logic to think I am the primary player/instrumentalist on the track. How I apply that is as long as BIAB is setting up the "accompanying" process by supplying key parts playing the essential notes, I can lay on top of that any embellishments such as polychords, or other chord derivatives that depart from the standard chord selection.

The only time that practice does not work is when you don't play an instrument and thus you are now relying upon BIAB to be your sole arranger/band. Then, I am afraid in that case, you may be going in a direction that BIAB may not have been built for.

I hope I did not step on any toes here. Again, if I misrepresented the logic of BIAB in the arena of music accompaniment, please feel free to correct me.

Thanks!
