Hi Gordon,

See if this simple little song backing that I created helps highlight the difference between a tag and and ending.

Simple 8-bar song with tag ending (link)

As I see it, the difference between a tag and a normal ending is...

(1) For a normal ending... after the last bar of the final chorus, the song goes to the ending four bars.

(2) For a tag... the tag can be inserted at any bar in the song. After the bar with the tag (coda) is played, BIAB will then jump to the tag.

To see the above difference between the above two processes, first play the tagged version of the song and notice how it jumps to bar 15 once it gets to bar 9 of Chorus 2 (the song I've created has a tag set). After you've done that, go to Song Settings and disable the tag and then regenerate and play the song again.

I hope this helps.
