It sounds like you're using multiple choruses. If that's correct, then you need to set where the first bar of the song is... this is the bar number that follows the last bar of the intro. Just click on "Start" and enter the first bar of the song.
If your view of BIAB is different from mine, use CTRL+T to toggle between displays.

Ahh... you type to quick Kent. Seems that we were answering at the same time.

Hi Noel96,
thanks for the great diagram. Yes I didnt see yours when I replied to Kent. The really funny thing is I had it set to start the way I wanted, somehow by luck.
But I dont want everything to play through the second time exactly like the first. Should I just abandon these chorus / verses and string the entire song out in one piece only?
I like the control that I have over having a single chorus where the song plays from beginning to end.
This set up let me stop where I want and add part markers wherever I like. I like this flexibility. If you have a look at the link below, you'll see what I mean.
The blue part markers tell BIAB to play less energetic rhythm both instrumental and drums, the green part marks indicate sections with greater musical energy.
I don't know if this is useful or not for you, but if you right-click on the chordsheet, it's possible to add Section Letters to help define sections. Unfortunately, these are not coloured.
It's a setting in "Display Options" called "New line for every section".
When activated, if you add a part marker, the bar will begin a new line of chords. The grey regions are nothing... just unused space.
The default number of bars is 2. This means if one clicks on bar 2 or 3 in a line to add a part marker, and the above setting is active, the part marker will begin the next line.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
