what mean about "natural arrangement"

There are some discordant feelings on my piano. Does it have anything to do with this "natural arrangement"?
Pay attention to the piano in 19bar.
I recorded a video. Please download it

The only way to get exactly what you want is to either edit audio in a program like Melodyne or to edit MIDI in the piano roll view or the notation view.


When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

My friend I did listen to your video.

What the program gives you is what it has and that isn't necessarily what you want. Sometimes you can get closer by regenerating but even that may not be what you want. Thus my answer.

In your video case one would put the track into the polyphonic version of Melodyne, delete the section you don't want, and then extend the notes of the chord that you do want.

I use mostly MIDI but I run into situations like this all of the time. In my DAW I modify tracks into something that I want.

BiaB is an excellent program but it may not give you the exact results that you want. That's just the way it is. YMMV

With piano RealTrack they are recorded on Yamaha Acoustic/Digital piano so the RealChart notation should be the actual playing.
You can drag the CHART into Studio One and edit what you like.

I don't think that the internal workings of Natural Arrangement are described.

The manual states:
"Natural Arrangements (re-interpret complex chords): If you give a pro musician a complicated chord progression
with fancy extensions like C7b9b13 or Gm11, the musician may reinterpret these rather than playing them exactly as written. This can achieve a much better sounding arrangement because the musician has freedom to choose from similar chord extensions. You can get Band-in-a-Box to do the same thing with this option for all tracks in all songs."


The intention is to provide a variation of how complex chords are presented.

What you are hearing at bar 19 is presumably the artistic license of the performer (a simple embellishment), as your song has no complex chords.
