Something fairly significant has been overlooked in this discussion.

No matter what jazz players might use as their vocabulary, most common songs have verses and choruses, per se, meaning that the chorus is different in dynamics than the verse or the bridge, often more busy or more energetic.

Thus if you do a part marker on something that you want to be a chorus then you would make that part marker green by clicking it once so that band in a box knows that it's a chorus and will use the chorus style of the particular style or tracks that you're using.

Those tracks will then become a little bit more energetic with more fills and more drive and that kind of thing so that everyone knows oh yeah we're in the chorus.

I agree it is kind of confusing that they would use the jazz nomenclature on "full song" repeats but I guess it's just shorthand for number of repeats or times through for most people.

I never use those "full song form" repeats as I use the song form feature to lay out the song in its entirety.

However it is important to remember that if you're writing a standard song you usually want your choruses to have a green part marker with most styles so that they actually sound like choruses.

Of course you can choose any number of different part markers and assign different styles to those but for the most part blue means verse or bridge and green means chorus.

This would be an important distinction for anyone who is learning Band in a Box for the first time.

I know this is important because I have helped people set up band in a box who are newbies and when they sent me their SGU files I noticed that the entire song was using blue part markers.

So I suspect that it's something people need to be alerted to if they've just purchased the product.
