But isn't this is a little esoteric for inclusion in the BIAB application? I mean, "Give me some chords to go with this melody, I really don't care what they are, and make them as simple as possible"? That seems like something more for a training application.

I do like the idea, though! I imagine a slider where you specify how challenging you want the accompaniment to be, from super-simple hymn-like arrangements to totally twisted ones where the chords fit the melody using deviant, dissonant harmonies.


MovetoGroove, OK now I understand and think it is a good idea.

Mark, the slider idea is a good one. Especially if it ranges from simple triads to complex jazz chords, all of course inclusive to BiaB. I will add maybe it should have a save to chord sheet option. That way one could either practice two ways, lead to chords or chords to leads, or actually produce a song via the save.

Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.
