BTW, another approach to this, that would likely be faster, is to just type the chords that you want without the rests..
ie)
E/B,E/F# E/D,E,G# E/B,E/F# E/D,E,G#
then, in a different bar (eg. bar 1 beat 1) , type one chord with the rests like this E...bdpg
Then choose Edit-Copy Rests, and copy from bar 1, beat 1 to the area that you want to have the rests applied to all chords. That would likely save you some typing!



Yaaaaaayyyy, PeterGannon!!! You rock my world. The "Edit-Copy Rests" approach worked like a champ!!
You know, after 10+ years using BiaB I really never even noticed that command in the Menu before (guess I got complacent & thought I was a "BiaB-Know-It-All"..., well that'll teach me to pay attention whenever I upgrade my version!). You have saved me countless hours of work & stress trying to meet my deadline.

So, since there were so many **very kind** people trying to help me with this (or at least to keep my spirits up), I figured I would at least post a little down-and-dirty, no-frills sample of the piece I was working on when I started this whole "long chord entry" adventure.
A little info about it:
It was not edited/remixed/mastered in any way..., meaning that it is just a straight as-is export from BiaB (note all of the selective use of rests on individual instruments). It was entirely generated by BiaB with the exception of the sound of a Nylon Guitar (MusicLab RealGuitar) playing fingerpicking patterns I had previously made and being triggered by midi notes on the BiaB Melody track, and of course, the vocals which were previously tracked in SonarPE, bounced down to one stereo audio file, and then imported into the BiaB Audio track (No TC Harmony used).
If this piece were for a film, it would be what plays while the closing credits roll but, since it's for a live-theatre production it plays while the actors take their bows and the audience is exiting the theatre. This play is (**yet another!!**) modernized, set-in-present-day retelling of the classic Romeo&Juliet thingy, but from the Juliet character's perspective (Oh..., how clever, these playwrights!). The play is titled: "Nightime", and hence the title of the song. (Blah, blah, blah..., Shut-up Rina!)
Anyway here 'tis..., hot off the harddrive:

Nitetime

So, I'm exhausted now and tomorrow will be mixing/mastering day to get ready for Wednesday's tech-in.
Thanks loads to everybody..., I couldn't have gotten through it without you!
And now..., Rina takes a long nap:

LOL!!!!

Ciao,
Rina
