Is there a way for the Chord Builder to generate this:

"Bb6/9(add E)" OR "C over Bb"

Any tricks?????

For the first one, try Bb13#11

For the second, just use the slash root: C/Bb

Unless, by 'OR', you mean you want the program to alternate somehow? No, I don't think so.

Thanks Matt, but the Bb13#11 leaves out the 9th, right?
And forthe C/Bb suggestion, the Chord Builder just delivers Bb octaves in the bass and D F in the treble. Actually the "C over Bb" is just another way to write "Bb6/9(add E)". (meaning to play a Bb triad with a C triad on top: Bb D F G C E).

Oh - OK, now I understand - you want cascading triads. This is not yet supported in BIAB. As you say, the BIAB slash root is one note, not a triad. This shows up in the Wishlist every so often; you might want to go and add your request. I'll put a +1 on it.

As for Bb13#11, no, the 9th should be in there. I can hear it clearly in the Play button of the Chord Builder most times. Hit Play repeatedly and sometimes it voices the chord with the 9th, sometimes not, but mostly with it. In an actual song, it might depend on the chord context, and the style (which you could tweak, if needed).

"Pipe" symbol is used to denote those type of stacked triads most often.

C|Bb

BIAB does not support them at this time.

Add your name to the Wishlist about that.

Meanwhile, depending upon style choice, a C11 in closed position is the same as C|Bb, spelled, C,E,G,Bb,D,F

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.

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."
