I was going to finish the song in BB VST. However, it was finally found that it was better to complete the song first in the main program of band in a box. But I don't know much about the main program of band in a box. There are two main questions: First: although it is divided into ABCD paragraphs, it is not particularly obvious. For example, a starts with intro, but the feeling changes when it returns. It is not intro at all. It is different from what was played just now. How can we control the change? Second: how many settings are appropriate for a song to end? 32 or 64? I have no experience in these. I hope you can help me. thank you
Pop music uses arrangement labels like Inro, Verse, Bridge,.
Band-in-a-Box uses the jazz method of arrangement where there is a non repeatable introduction, a chorus that repeats as many times as desired (the default chorus repeat is three (3) times and a no repeatable ending.
A song can be as short or as long as you desire. The shortest number of bars Band-in-a-Box can handle is two (2). The most number of bars Band-in-a-Box can handle is two hundred fifty five (255).
Use part marker (1) when you want a fill or (2) when you want to change the intensity of the song. An "A" part marker is less intense and a "B" part marker is more intense.
Because my English is not good, it is difficult to understand. Whether there is a screenshot or an operation video is better. Now I try to do everything well in BIAB, and then transfer to bbvst

You asked: "How can I clearly mark the beginning, main song and chorus" Matt and I answered that question
Follow my 3 numbered steps.
1: Right Click 2: Choose Bar Based Section Letters from the context menu 3: Choose a letter you want to appear, "C" for Chorus, "V" for Verse etc. and that letter will be added to the bar.

Oh, I see. You just mean that as a mark. I mean, sometimes the paragraph changes are not obvious. Sometimes I mark the beginning, but repeat it once, such as choruses x 2. When I repeat it for the second time, the sound of the beginning paragraph changes. It's hard for me to control. I think I'm not familiar with the software and where the settings are wrong.
1: In the video you pressed Play, not Generate and Play, so therefore the song would not be regenerated (previous variations would remain the same unless you made a deliberate change to the song).
2: In Song Settings (Control-N), if you have Vary Style in Middle Choruses set to "Yes," the song will play in sub-style B for the second chorus. That could be the variation you are hearing.

In Song settings, I think it is checked by default. Should I remove the check??
In fact, I just want the paragraph to be clear. Is there any kind of setting that can clearly divide the four paragraphs intro, verse, chorus and bridge Then, each generation will have a small melody rhythm change, but the four paragraphs are still very clear.
You listen to this beginning and cycle back in 50 seconds, but the effect is different and stronger. It's not intro anymore. That's what I said, what confused me. I hope it can. It doesn't change every time
In Song settings, I think it is checked by default. Should I remove the check??
Yes. Remove the check and regenerate and listen the to difference. Each play through the song will be a similar 'energy level'.

BiaB doesn't work this way. It uses the concept of a Chorus, where each chorus is one play through the song. You can have Intro, one or more Choruses, and a Tag ending which can jump from any bar within the last chorus.
BiaB doesn't support Verse, Bridge etc by those names. The 'Chorus' concept is the way the developers designed it.
Feel free to experiment with settings and listen the the results. You'll begin to better understand how things fit together.
This song has a 4-bar intro, the Chorus start from bar 5 to 45 and repeats 3 times:

yes. My tangle is that every repetition is different. I finally have to save it and finish the song in Daw through bbvst. But because every repetition in BIAB is different, I don't know how to keep it. So I thought I should write a complete song in BIAM and save it. Finally, call bbvst and use. The general idea is that BIAB comes up with a framework. Complete the song in Daw with the help of bbvst.
You gave me the "bandinabox for windows part markers Overview" on the official website last time. I think it's very useful. Are there any similar tutorials? For "part markers"
yes. My tangle is that every repetition is different.
You can fix that. You can 'freeze' the tracks so that they don't change each generation. After you generate/play the song and like the way it sounds, freeze each track. The 'snowflake' icon turns blue. After that, every time you play the song those tracks will always sound the same, there will be no changes in the performance for any tracks you have frozen.

Will the snowflake function also work in bbvst? I'm thinking or going directly to BBVs to constantly generate the melody I need, which is also possible. I'll try later.

Good. Let us know your results.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
