At interviews when asked what I thought was "your greatest weakness" I'd answer that I don't give up easily ... sometime I should give up a bit earlier. Mostly that tenacity was beneficial, but sometimes not.

Then when realtracks came along, it needed to be extended 4 bars to given the instruments some time for the sound to fade away. The first 2 bars of the automatic ending, though, are playing bars and the last 2 bars are for the sound to naturally decay.


For this process I've mostly used MIDI styles, and yes, it's likely that that's what's allowing the first two bars of the ending to play the accompaniment but the final two don't.

If I uncheck the add-ending option, my four bars of ending are greyed out and don't play. The ending is also ugly, of course.

If I take what I now have and try to convert from an 'ending' to a 'tag', it again makes a mess of things.

I'm aware that different peiople have slightly different inderstanding of what 'tag' actually means. PGM don't saeem to me entirely clear about that, either.

The big attractions to BIAB were that is "sounds much better than iRealPro" and can be tuned better in the styles, and that it will play the melody for the times before I've learned the melody, so that I get a good aide memoir before I practice it or practice soloing. The problem is that I'd be better spending my time practicing rather than trying to get BIAB to do what I expect.

As a design engineer I used to spend quite a bit of time and effort making sure that my designs would work consistently and predictable even if the end user decided to do something logical but "completely silly". FGrankliy, it's wasn't for me to define what was or was not "completely silly". I remember my CEO and another guy hearing from a customer how they'd donbe a work-around of a fault. They said in chorus "they can't do that! That won't work", before turniung to me and again askeing in chorus "Will it?".

Well, yes, it will, provided they've swapped the whole lot to the other channel. It was logical, so I allowed it. There was no point in disallowing it just because "nobody will ever want to do that".

At this moment, my tenacity is feeling very strained.
