When I open BIAB the first chord is numbered 1a followed by 19 Rock Organ in a box and when I play the chords there is a very brief organ sound at the beginning. I can't work out how to change this to 1 without the rock organ.
Also, is it possible to request style suggestions for a particular tune if it is not included in BIAB.
And thirdly, is it possible to have only a treble clef for entering notes without the bass clef?
And can I say a big thank you to the people in the forum who are willing to help beginners like myself.
The '1a' that you're referring to is not a chord. It's bar number 1 and it's set to an 'a' substyle.
If you go to the link below, you'll find some video clips that will help you understand how BIAB works. The very first one in the 'Beginners' section explains how to enter chords. While it's an older version of the program, and BIAB looks a little different now, the principle is exactly the same today.
Thank you for that. I have looked at all of the beginners videos and quite a few from YouTube and looked at Bar Settings and clicked clear but I still have 1a and next to it the number 19 Rock Organ in a box on the notation screen. Sorry if I'm being a bit dumb with this but if you can tell me which video I should look at or indeed how to do it I shall be most grateful.
Hi When you are in the notation screen: Having chosen which track you want notation from , say melody,strings, etc. It tells you which instrument is assigned to that track.at the start of the track. This is what you are seeing. In you case it is a rock organ, To remove or change this, in the mixer by selecting your midi instrument for that track. Click on the down arrow at the RH end of the track you are working on Click select midi patch, in the new box that pops out select no midi patch or choose a midi patch. Hope this helps Mike
