It would be great if the next version of BIAB had an arpeggiator button, so that after entering chords one would simply push the button and each chord would be filled with the appropriate arpeggio.

This is a great idea. I'm all for this one.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

It is an interesting idea.
Of course, the minute you have an arpeggiated chord, you have to decide on a rhythm to play the notes of the chord, and that depends on how many notes are in the chord. Could be three. Could be seven. Could be... Maybe do straight eights for a measure, spelling the chord up then down, and start again next measure?
And I'm assuming by "push the button" (what button?) you mean a MIDI style to do this? If so, go to the Styles Wishlist. PG Music has made utility styles from user request (including a similar request from me for "held" styles, like heldbosa.sty).

Hi Matt. No, I wasn't thinking of a midi style, just a button on the main screen (how about to the right of the 'freeze' button) that would fill in the notes. And as far as number of notes in a chord, I'd suggest that BIAB use a simple algorithm to fill the bar (or bars), with some options for the user to pick. For example, I might want BIAB to do 1-3-5-7 as quarter notes, or as two sets of eighth notes (1-3-5-7-7-5-3-1) or as eighth notes with a rest (1-3-5-7-5-3-1 rest). I use the latter all the time for practice, filling in empty charts from BIAB all the time. If the chord has more notes, the algorithm might mix quarters, eighths, dotted eighths and rests to achieve a reasonable fill. I'm not a programmer, but this doesn't sound too difficult nor does it have to be overly complicated. It has to be much simpler than the soloist algorithm. As I say, I'm thinking of a practice tool. Make any sense?

Sound cool but when BiaB builds a four or five part song bed, which instrument does it apply the arpeggiation to?
There might be a jazz guitar and a piano in the mix, do they both arpeggiate, and if so then would it once again sound fake and mechanical?
I would thing an arpeggio would work better in a Sequencer, like PT or RB, and they are available for those now.
Hhmmm interesting discussion.

Seems to me that another way to deal with this is to make "arpeggiate" a flag in stylemaker. That way you can do it on a per instrument, or even per riff basis. Maybe have a per instrument global setting (all the guitar stuff gets arpeggiated, for example) and then allow a check/uncheck box for each riff. You wouldn't have to be a stylemaker wizard to do it. Just open the style and check the box or not, and either save with a new name, or just save it back.
Just a thought.
