Got a new song going in 4/4 time.
I can't seem to recall how to change a bar to allow one chord entry for each 1/4 beat? (I may have another arrangement enigma but one a time for the moment :))
Would anyone care to educate this old bird?
Much thanks for chiming in.
Have a great day....

The comma should do it such as C,G,F,C. The old memory here is going too, I forget a lot of stuff.

Trying to get each beat the bar to allow a chord entry. In this case: Em, D, C, and stay on C through beat 4 of the measure. Still only allowing me to enter one chord for two beats? I need this option for several bars during the arrangement. Did I mention "I'm an idiot"? Thanks m....

That's how it's supposed to work. One measure = [Em, D | C, - ] beat 1-Em comma beat 2-D Beat 3 C comma leave beat 4 blank (or add the C again on beat 4 if you want.
If it's not working for you, try the reset to defaults option and restart BIAB. I don't think it's you....

OK...I did not input the chord quite right. I did: Em,D for beat 1&2 with NO spaces between them. That did the trick. Thanks Charlie (and ML) for your tutoring. ....I may be back.

Hello, this is something I've been looking for would you please clarify which worked... ,spaced or ,not space. I believe that the space character is not relevant and should not be used. In a 4/4 time signature, there are two cells. The first cell is for beats 1 & 2 and the second cell is for beats 3 & 4. If you want a chord change on beat 1 and beat 2 then enter the data in the first (LH) cell as two values separated by a comma E.g: Dm,Eb If you want a chord change on beat 3 and beat 4 then enter the data in the second (RH) cell as two values separated by a comma E.g: F7,Ab If you only want the chord change on the 4th beat and not on the 3rd beat, enter a comma and the chord in the RH cell, e.g. ,Gm7 There is no need to enter a space character, and this probably breaks things.

I'm not even sure how he's entering a space into the chordsheet. When I try it myself, BB automatically starts playing and doesn't enter the space.

Options | Preferences | adjust "SPACEBAR key" options from drop-down menu: -enters no chord -plays from current position -plays from start Choose "enters no chord" and Playback will not start when you press the space bar.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
