A more thorough explanation of what you are looking to do may help. Cycling doesn't mean a lot to me.

I assume you mean looping? If so unfold your song and add the measures you wanted to loop into said song. I do this all of the time. When I start a song in BiaB I always use one chorus, not the three that is there at the start.


If you ever get an email about pork, ham, salt, and preservatives, don't open it. It's spam!

I’m guessing that one long song may not do it here. BIAB will generate a solo over all the measures. If the point is to play along with a solo in just one of the choruses, to learn it, then I suggest making a recording of the song.

If you want to stay within BIAB, then be sure to Freeze the Soloist track. Then right-click at the first measure of the solo and select Play from this measure in Chorus 2 (or words to that effect - I’m not at my PC.

ah great. thanks!
I didn't know about this 'unfolding' business!!
that must be the way to do it!

Yes, I meant looping..

I have frozen the solo - hope it stays when 'unfolded', if not, no worries.

Glad I learned about unfolding.

I don't use repeats or DC al anything. If the song is 256 bars, I write out the full 256 bars. No unfolding necessary.
