Newbie here. This question has prob been asked and answered many times and if it has, please direct me in the right direction. I am in the chord entry sheet, tune I play is 3/4 time, 32 bars long but it has a three note pick-up lead-in (1x8th note followed by 2x16th notes) that I play then into first note in bar #1. How do I enter a lead-in or intro so that it prods me to play the three note pick-up? I realize that there is counting required, just not sure how to do various types of entries. Using BIAB 2022 Pro version. Thank you in advance.

Hi Al,

I would enter the pickup notes in Notation Editor.

The video below is using BIAB 2013 to show how to enter notation. Today's version looks a little different but the note-entry process is still identical.



There are two views for recent BIAB and both can be accessed by using CTRL+T as a toggle to switch between views. If you go to the standard view, the location of the Notation Editor buttons is still in the same position today.

Hope this helps,
Noel

BIAB gives you an intro measure. If you go into the Editable Notation Mode, you will be able to enter your pickup notes before Measure #1.

You can choose the length of a drum count-in, and/or set a visual count-in, in Options, Preferences, Count-in/Metronome.

Thanks for the replies. I entered the notes in the notation sheet then addd a four bar intro and works like a charm. Lots to learn.

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."
