Hi Gordon,

Given the settings that the top images shows, the following will happen when the song is generated....

1) The song will play from bar 1 to bar 28. This is the first time through.

2) The backing will then play from bar 9 to bar 28 four more times. This is the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th times through.

3) Once it gets to bar 28 on the fifth time through, playback will proceed to bar 29 and then stop at bar 30. All automatic endings are 2 bars long.

4) Only the first chord in bar 29 will be used to create the ending. This means all the chords after D7 will not play. Neither will any melody that's written in bars 29 to 32. Bars 29 to 32 are exclusively for BIAB's use to create an automatic ending.

5) If a tag is activated that starts at bar 29 and end at bar 33, which it currently isn't in the top image, then bars 29 to 33 will play the chords that you have after the fifth time through. Any melody you've written in this section will also play because BIAB is no longer in automatic-ending mode.

6) NOTE: Even though it says that the ending is 4 bars, the reality is that the actual musical backing is always 2 bars long for MIDI and realtracks. With realtracks, though, the last two bars of the 4-bar ending are for the automatic holding and fading away of chords.


I have BIAB 2023 build 1010. When I tried the above, it worked fine for me.
