how to change melody to play every time not just the 1st time #178050 11/05/12 07:02 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

For one of my songs, it plays the melody line the 1st time through the song but not for any of the other choruses. I do not have "mute melody during middle" set. Is there a way to copy the melody to the other choruses or force it to repeat or something? (I searched in song settings and in the melody menu but the matter escapes me still.) Can you help? Thanks. -- Mark Kamoski

That might do the job if you have the melody on the melody track. There's also a similar command under "Soloist" if you have the melody on the soloist track. Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

To dialog, there is a checkbox at the bottom to copy the first chorus to the last chorus.

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.
