Hi,
there is a bug in style _OLDWLD1.STY
To reproduce:
New song with this style in the key of Eb
Enter just Cm7 chords.
Solo the accordion.. listen..
Sometimes the accordion will play wrong chords.. a chord with a Gb in it.. can be a Cm7/b5 or a Cdim I guess.
Can anyone pls confirm that?

Thanks a lot,
Franz

Hi, Franz,

I can confirm this. I hear occasional Cm7b5 and also CmM7 (I think).

Hi Franz,

I've had a listen. It sounds like there could be a chord mapping problem. I'll pass a link to this thread onto the Development Team.

In the meantime, if you have BIAB 2021...

1) right-click on the accordion track in the mixer

2) select Track Settings

3) select Fix Sour Notes

4) unfreeze the accordion track if frozen and regenerate it.

This might help.

This feature is only available in BIAB 2021. So if you have an earlier version of BIAB, this is not present.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,

thank you very much for taking your time and your help! Thant's very kind of you.
Yes, I have the latest version.
But since the last update to 2021 version 814 I have lots of other problems.
When I change styles I get strange track names and can't hear midi tracks an so on.. can't load old songs created with BiaB 2009.. they show strange Track names, no Midi sound except on melody tracks and more

I tried the Auto fix Sour Notes.. selected chords and BBW64 didn't respond anymore with a cpu load of 50%.
I think first I have to try to reinstall it.

But I'm sure there is a mapping problem in this style.
I still can load this song and change chords as long as I don't change the style.
Thank you for forwarding this mapping problem to the developers.

Best regards,
Franz

P.S: I think I can post more after reinstalling BBW

Hi Franz,

Next time you try "Sour Notes", try it with "Song chords" and see if that helps.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel,

that's what I tried with version 814 (the latest update).
Looks like the high cpu usage without responding was a bug in the latest update.

Now after I removed this version and installed the old BB2021 version 804 again it works!
It just doesn't work if BB starts with the wrong chord in the first bar.
So this is probably another bug.
But that's not a big problem if you know how to solve it.. I let BB rebuild the song until it starts with the right chord in bar 1.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Franz

Hi Franz,

Check the song's key, too. That might help. Lastly, if the first chord is Cm7, try just using Cm for the first one and then put Cm7 on the next bar.

I'm glad you're up and running.
Noel
