Facing a melody, there are usually many matching schemes for chords.
Teachers, I want to ask a question. You are choosing the chord hand for a melody. Are there any commonly used patterns in BIAB?
This style is simple, not complicated, and very clear, but it can help us choose chords, and it's the most suitable.
Because, I have encountered situations where some styles are very fancy and change a lot. Even if I turn off all the sounds and only keep a section of the guitar or piano, it still feels unclear.
So, I would like to ask, can you recommend several such styles for me?
thanks！

I think this is a much more complicated question than you realise.
I think that styles will not really help much with that.
There are some common chord progressions that you probably should learn. The easiest is probably the 12-bar Blues, but even that has some variations:
Standard 12-bar blues - Major.
|:I | I | I | I |
| IV | IV | I | I |
| V | V | I | I :|
Standard 12-bar blues - minor.
|:i | i | i | i |
| iv | iv | i | i |
| VI | V | i | i :|
Popular songs (from many eras) tend to use I, IV, V, vi in various orders.
Jazz tends to use ii V I, but also many key-centre changes.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

Many RealTracks have a SIMPLE option or HELD option the chord progression you enter is your own choice.
You can use ACW if you hear a song with a progressiin you like and want to see the chords.

Here is a list of common chord progressions that you might like:

Also google/bing common chord progressions and you will find a lot of sites featuring chord progressions.
I hope this helps.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
