Hi, I have a chord sheet with alternating time - e.g. 1. bar is 3/4, 2. bar is 4/4, 3. bar is 3/4 and so on. I go into bar settings and choose "number of beats this bar". But it doesn't work. I'm using _CAVERNB Cavern Harmonica Country Ballad which is a 3/4 style. Can't I have a 4/4 bar with this style - or what am I doing wrong ? TIA, Mads

Hi Mads,
One of BIAB's quirks is that if you are going to alternate between 3/4 and 4/4 time, it's necessary for the initial style to be a 4/4 one. Since you've chosen a 3/4 base style, BIAB will not allow you have bars with more than three beats in them.
What you can do is load in a 4/4 style and then change bar 1 to 3 beats. I haven't tried it recently but if that doesn't work, leave bar 1 as 4 beats and then start from the song from bar 2 and change that to a 3 beats or to a three beat style using bar settings.
Regards, Noel

Presuming the first bar is 3 beats. Do you get a 4 beat count-in or a 3 beat count-in?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
