I was wondering today if BIAB could produce an SUG file for chord progression? Write some commonly used chords in it. Beneficial for learning and use. For example C-F-G-C C-F-G/B-C F-G-Em-Am F-G/F-Em Am F-G/F-Em -Abdim -Am F-Fm6 -Em- Abdim- Am

A bit pointless when writing your own is so easy If what you want is a guide to common progressions it would be better to listen to your favourite songs and work out the chords .most guitarists have done that and can recognise the commonly used progressions. If you don't play an instrument this is a good reason to learn

"Commonly used chords" are floating everywhere these days. Why sit down and listen to a song to transcribe the chart when it is readily avialable on the web? (That is a rhetorical question). Here is an example ... https://midi.musiccreator.com/free-queen-and-beatles-chords.

.SGU files ...
I would bet that the PG Music copyrighted style demo songs that come with BIAB contain many songs with such chord progressions. In the case of demo songs for jazz styles, I often recognize the chord progression from a famous song, and I would think other genres probably use the same technique.

Personally I can think of nothing more stultifying than starting from a point of a standard, common, flogged to death chord progression in BIAB. The world is filled with them and they have their place but, at the very least, try staring the progression somewhere other than the one. I have a chart of super popular progressions - I use it to ensure that I don't use them unless I REALLY intend to.

Picking up Matt's point the reason I suggested figuring out chord progressions rather than getting them off the web is that like Matt I can recognise some chord progressions when I hear them. Not a jazz player so can't comment on that genre but a lot of pop and folk songs use very common progressions and being able to recognise them seemed to me the best solution to the OP's request. He could spot the common progressions rather than need a list from BIAB and his musical skills would take a step forward. An obvious example is C - Am - F - G which luckily can't be copyrighted!
