Hi.

First, I cannot find any match in the Forum using the search function for "Custom Chord Progression Match". Has this truly never come up so far?

In trying to use the Custom Chord Progression Match to find songs with particular chord progressions in them, the failure to find anything is so common that from my POV this feature just isn't working.

I am open to the possibility that I'm doing a uniquely poor job of entering my searches correctly, but even doing direct copies of the examples in the docs does not seem to be working well at all.

What are other people's experiences with this?

(I'm using BIAB for Windows Version 2019 (627) 64bit)

Here are pics of a search I submitted, and the output box that resulted.

If BIAB is telling the truth in the output box, then I suppose that would be why nothing is found. However, what the output box says I submitted is not what I submitted!

Unless I am also entering the progression incorrectly, I was able to reproduce the issue you found and have reported it to the developers.

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."
