Being technically deficient - and that is a dangerous defect to have with BIAB, i have started relying on ChatPg, Copilot (AI embedded in my MS browser) and ChatGPT Open AI to try and solve the mysteries of BIAB.

First I tried ChatPG then Copilot. All I got from then was a page of information, most of which seemed irrelevant and did not solve my problem. Then I went to ChatGPT Open AI and queried it:

"Using Band In A Box 2024 on my Windows 11 computer, I have a song with three verses and two choruses: 1 Verse, 2 Chorus, 3 Verse, 4 Chorus (repeat), 5 Verse. I want to swap verses #1 and #3. I see no easy way to do that in BIAB. However, it seems to me - based on information you gave me yesterday - that by using cut, copy, and paste it might be fairly easily accomplished. Can you outline that method for me again?"

This is what ChatGPT Open AI sent. i was too tired after midnight when I got this answer to try it and I have not yet. But, I believe it will work:

"Corrected Method to Swap Verses #1 and #3:
Cut Verse #1:

Go to the Chords & Melody view (or Song Form).
Select the entire Verse #1 section (highlight it).
Press Ctrl + X (or right-click and select Cut) to remove Verse #1 from its original position and hold it in memory.
Copy Verse #3:

Now, go to the Verse #3 section (the one that will be moved to the Verse #1 position).
Select the entire Verse #3 section.
Press Ctrl + C (or right-click and select Copy) to copy Verse #3 into memory.
Paste Verse #3 in Verse #1's Location:

Move to the Verse #1 position where you want Verse #3 to go.
Press Ctrl + V (or right-click and select Paste) to paste Verse #3 in Verse #1's position.
Paste the Cut Verse #1 into Verse #3's Location:

Now, move to the Verse #3 position (where Verse #1 used to be).
Press Ctrl + V (or right-click and select Paste) to place Verse #1 into Verse #3's original position.
Final Check:
After completing these steps, you should have:
Verse #3 in the position of Verse #1.
Verse #1 in the position of Verse #3.
The Choruses and Verse #5 remain unchanged.
This method is the most efficient and simple way to swap the verses. Does this approach work for what you're looking to do?"

It seems eminently simple and workable. So much so, that I am embarrassed I did not figure this out on my own. What do you think? Does it make sense to you.

Mr. Finley, I surely appreciate people like you on the BIAB forum who are willing to devote time and effort to help "lost souls like me."

Thank you.
