Ghost notes in BiaB?

I am entering a song that has a few ghost notes. They are x's where the note should be. I know it means the words should be spoken at that part. But I want some sound to indicate rhythm. Does BiaB have a way of dealing with this?
I was thinking of picking an instrument like a drum. But the bar has regular notes in it as well as ghost notes. So doing a patch change for the bar wouldn't work.

Don't recognize this offhand, but any chance you could attach a screenshot of what you see exactly for more context? Could help some of us get a better picture.

We need to know more. Ghost notes in jazz have the same duration as a regular note, but are barely sounded.

To clarify, are you looking for a way to enter ghost notes, or are you saying that you have already successfully entered them? Also, which version year of the program are you using and is it for Mac or Windows?

I am using the 2019 version for Windows. I have not successfully entered ghost notes in BiaB. I would like to make the ghost notes appear in BiaB in the notation view and the print outs. That is, with an x for a note head. I would also like to make the ghost notes sound like a soft rhythmic taping instead of actual notes. https://imgur.com/gallery/3mZZ5uAThe song is "Why Me, (Lord)" by Kris Kristofferson. Here he is singing the song https://youtu.be/g2u_rEcWW8MThe clip of sheet music given above is approx betweem 27 seconds and 37 seconds on the video

I don't know of any way in Band in a Box to make a notehead display an "x" (indicating a "ghost" note, or more usually an unpitched note) instead of using the standard round noteheads.

OK, I guess there is no way to do it. I will just leave the ghost notes out.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!
Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!
Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)
In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.
When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!
PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
