I'm from old era and we did a lot of 1/2 push back then. I don't know what 1/16 and 1/8 push would do musically but half beat push was a normal thing back in the days. Can you do 1/2 push in BIAB by any chance?
Example of 1/2 push would be
DANCING QUEEN by ABBA where they sing You come to look for a king
|E Gbm .Gbm _ _ |E Gbm .Gbm _ _ | <= Music only part
1) I want to be able to do E Gbm in one beat. If that's too challenging to write the program 2) I like to have at least the second .Gbm pushed 1/2 beat
I've been having this question ever since BIAB came out but only now am asking My workaround is to manually cut and move the wave audios. But when you are working with a lot of audio tracks and several places, you get frustrated. If they could program to do 1/8 push then 1/2 could be done too, I think. If they offer that capability I'll buy the upgrade in a moment notice. Thanks in advance.
Welcome milianpa! What version of Band-in-a-Box do you have and is it for Mac or Windows? There are only the option for 1/8 and 1/16 pushes. However, you can add multiple chords per beat in the Band-in-a-Box 2022 version with the new MicroChords feature.

Thanks, Chantelle. I'm using 2019(634) on Windows. I need to check 2022 version for multiple chords per beat feature but I still wish to have 1/2 push.
If you have a PC and this is what you are looking for then yes it can be done. Just delete the .jpg from the mp3 file or left click on it; left clicking works here.
Edit - as you can see I made a mistake in the chords. It should be E.f#m f#m f#m f#m/E.f#m f#m f#m f#m, but you should see that it does work.

Wow, I wish I knew what you were trying to do. I just don't follow the 1/2 push thing as that would put the pushed chord on top of whatever chord is already there. I tried to look at the sheet music for this portion of the song and it was not readily avialable. Can you show a picture of the chordal notation you are tying to achieve? Otherwise, possibly Mario has alread figured this out with the new microchords feature.

You likely should have asked earlier...
Here is what I think he is trying to do per measure: 1-the first beat is divided into 8th note chords, an E chord on the down beat and F#m chord on the up beat. 2-beats 2, 3, and 4 are all the F#m chord
Interesting is that you have to start each measure with an E chord, then go into the Microchords. I don't know why but it just works that way.
{edit} - I forgot to add that I am assuming that his interpretation of a 1/2 push is putting a chord on the up beat.

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.

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."
