Hi, I've been using BIAB for a few years playing guitar, and feel like I've barely scratched the surface. Now have a new use. I took up a new instrument (violin) and am working through some Suzuki books. I'd like to enter the piano accompaniments to some of the songs as a practice partner. So I have a few questions: 1) What is most efficient way to enter the keyboard parts given that I don't have a midi keyboard? 2) Which 'instrument' should I enter them within (eg piano? soloist?). 3) How can I turn off the other 'instruments' and not get any generated accompaniment? 4) Or am I thinking about this all wrong? I just want a bare bones playback of the piano part, under BIAB control. Thanks for any tips! --Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Band-in-a-Box's real strength lies in automatically generating backing parts, given the chords and a style. While you can enter the piano part by hand (note by note), it will take a long time may end up being quite frustrating. Does the piano accompaniment list the chords? If so, just put all the chords in and pick a style (there's a Classical category in the Style Picker), and play along. Otherwise, if you have any audio recordings of the pieces you can always plug them into the Audio Chord Wizard function to have Band in a Box determine the chords automatically.
I play violin as well and started with the Suzuki method too - best of luck! Violin can be a frustrating instrument to get going with, especially wrt tone and posture, but stick with it, it'll be worth it!
Best, Will
PS If you're entering parts by hand and you don't want any automatic backing, you can disable the Band in a Box Style by uncheckingStyle > Style is enabled. You'll want to enter your part on the Melody or Soloist track, those are not overwritten when you press Play.
