An addition question I have is:


Is there anyway to tell the song length in minutes?


{ I know it depends on tempo } Can Biab figure
this out and display it?

thanks

In BiaB, a Chorus is considered one play through of the song. There is a bar limit of 255 bars in BiaB but you can have many (up to 40) choruses (as long as computer resources available)

Set the number of bars in the song to suit (<255) and set the number of Choruses or Repeats (<40)

The length of the song is displayed in the BiAB Caption at the top of the screen, (note it includes the count-in time)

Song length : Note also that it does not take in account the tempo changes inside the song.

huh? I don't see this at the top of mine, using windows 7 - 64. Maybe my title

If you click the memo button, you will also see the song length. You may have to click "update" if you've made changes to your song.
