Hi de Nobbi,
Okay. If I understand this, and I think I do, you'd like to sit down at your Kronos or Fantom or whatever, and play in your music and have BIAB figure out your chords. It would, ideally, display them in the main window and then you could pick a style to go with the song, and audition several styles to determine which might work with your band.

Great idea.

Not happening, at least not directly. I've been away from BIAB for a while now, so I'm not up on the latest features, but a while ago, we had something called the Audio Chord Wizard (IIRC) and it could analyze an audio file and extract the chords from that, but it is rather limited for what you want to do.

My recommendation is to use BIAB the way it was designed, which is to manually enter the chords for your song, and then select the styles you want.
The reasons to do this are many:
1. You'll get the chord you want, including slash chords or specific inversions.
2. You'll get it exactly where you want it, in the bar, time wise.
3. You'll be able to select the correct key for notation, if you want to have notation to print out.
4. You can cut and paste from your basic chord progression and then alter the chords in the various choruses after the first one.

I'm sure there are more reasons, that others may contribute, or you'll find yourself. But, to actually sit down and play your chords and have BIAB recognize them isn't what the program is designed to do. It is probably faster to actually put the chords in from the computer keyboard than trying to enter them from the music keyboard and then having to go back and modify and correct what you're getting.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
