Now that last one, by Matt, seems a little confusing to say the least.


Yes, it can be.

Each measure consists of two cells, no matter what the time signature (4/4 or 3/4). The numbers are associated with the measure, not with the cell.

You can put up to 2 beats in a cell. So in 4/4 time, one measure might look like this:

[ C | ]

That is, a single measure with one chord change in it, falling on the first beat.

If you put a chord in the second cell, it might look like this:

[ C | F ]

Now you've got two chords, the C on the first beat, and the F on the third beat. If you want to have a chord change on beat 2 or 4, you need to use a comma in the cell to separate the chords:

[ C | F, Gm ]

Now there's a Gm on beat 4. As noted, data entry looks the same in 4/4 time and 3/4 time. In 3/4 time, it doesn't make any sense to enter a chord change on beat 4, because there's no beat 4. But BiaB will still allow you to do it.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
