To all who don't think that adjusting the key after the first chord is entered is a good idea, allow me to flesh this out a bit more.
It doesn't have to be literally the first chord, there's room for nuance here.

All the seasoned musicians here know what chords are in a particular key of music.
BIAB also knows all about chord relationships.

BIAB can quickly and easily pick up on a ii-V that starts a song. Or a IV-V etc.
Yesterday I typed in a song in the key of E with the first chord a B7 next chord C7 and then B7.
That was followed by a lot of E chords.

I didn't even think about the key of the song (which was set to C at the top).
Well on play back I started to get a bunch of E9 chords playing instead of E, sometimes Eadd4 and a lot of other extraneous chords.
BIAB is smart enough to take a look at all the chords I typed in (it was a form of blues in E) and figure out the key.

And it could probably do this for 99% of songs typed into BIAB.
This is what I'm getting at.
If the user forgets (or in my case hadn't given it consideration for most of the time) they should have their
backs covered by BIAB that does this FOR A LIVING!
