I understand.
thanks!

That's ignoring all the other issues he presents, which you just said require treating Mr. Mix as a 7 year old child. In return, he calls you "teacher" and replies to you in bold. Not everyone is in that position, or wants to be.

I'm guessing it's calling D#/Eb = IV and F = V and ignoring the F#?

I agree that the enharmonic Eb and the F could be contributing. Without knowing the algorithm, it's difficult to accurately guess, but no doubt we are working from the same page with this one.


I'm wondering what the musical basis of the algorithm would be.

Given nothing but those three chords – and forget about BIAB – would it be appropriate to analyze that piece in that way?

Specifically, does the presence of the IV and the V strongly imply the missing root, to the point where they determine the key?

This gets to questions about musical "reality" that are weighing heavily on my mind these days.

Oh, for sure, for sure!

But it's one thing to nurture your inner child by watching the sun rise over a basket of puppies. It's another to inject your inner child into a forum where people have to treat him like he's 7 years old.

You might reflect on whether that's really what you want.

I didn't think so much, but when I contacted BIAB,
I encountered some problems, and then left a message in the beginner forum.
Thank you for your help, and thank you all for your enthusiastic help

Yes. It is difficult to master BIAB in a short time.
I started to make detours. At first I just wanted to use BIAB VST.
But in the end I found that I should learn the main BIAB program. After everyone's help, the main program is basically mastered.
I tried to input some chords a few days ago, and then I ran into a problem with the chord input method. Import the work into STUDIO ONE yesterday and today, and then use Sonible-smart EQ3 to automatically adjust the EQ, perfect grin

Therefore, there won't be too many questions next.

The message says "it is likely Eb". It does not say that it is Eb. It is only a suggestion. YMMV


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.

I see it as a guess about an underlying musical reality rather than a suggestion about what you might want to do.

Either way, I'm wondering why, and how to evaluate it.

Yes, I agree that some valid questions are being asked. In fact, good questions.

The recommendations by BiaB to change the key signature to G Major for me was intuitive but at the same time intriguing. But more information about the chords used were really required to make an independent analysis.

In a separate example I agreed that the enharmonic Eb and the F could be contributing to a key signature recommendation, but never intended for my response to indicate that the questions were not appropriate. Neither that BiaB was correct nor incorrect.

I also commented on alternative syntax on how to implement Bmin7(b5) in BiaB, especially to use the Chord Builder which I hope would have been helpful.

Additionally, I offered some encouragement to possibly lesser skilled musicians that they should take the opportunity to further explore music theory with a view to better understand the fundamentals of music, this of course is in an attempt to broaden their musical skills and creativity. I still believe that to be a valid and worthwhile suggestion.

I wasn't aware that BiaB incorporated any form of artificial intelligence, but would be keen to learn more. I had always suspected it predominately used well developed algorithms based on the program's design requirements and deliverables.

That’s a good question about artificial intelligence. I suppose it depends on your definition and I did use the term loosely. I agree there are algorithms making this recommendation and like many things in BIAB, we don’t know how they work.
