If a song has bars of mixed time signatures e.g. 3/4, 4/4, 2/4, you need to start the song using the highest count value and then use F5 to set the time signature at certain bars. This works, but often the phrasing is less than ideal, with critical accent beats being cut-off etc.

The song can also have the style changed at any bar, but this generally sounds like you changed bands mid-song and is less ideal again.

Many contemporary composers embed different time signatures to articulate their phrasings. The above methods don't generally do justice to the song or meet the objective.

Band In A Box would significantly benefit from a better range of time signatures that use the same "style", but have accents that work properly with the specific signature (4/4, 3/4, 5/4 etc).

So when changing from 4/4 to 3/4 the system doesn't cut off the last beat, but rather the same (real-tracks) style actually plays that part from a library of correct time signatures (but recorded using the same style).

This would be a great enhancement to an already fantastic program.
