@Dan Snyder:

Is this ALL specific to BIAB or do the rules in your example make the transition to RB as well? I have had this thing for probably 8 years now and I have never launched BIAB. Went right to RB on day 1 and stayed there. My personal application though has never once been to play a MIDI file. The caveat there is that I am not a beginner in music and can play in what I want.

This is just an awesome composition tool and I can go up to my studio and just get lost up there. Many nights I have gone up at 9pm and the next thing I knew it started getting light outside.... Write, enter the chord chart, pick a style, generate, tweak rhythm, play the live parts, sing, overdub harmonies, generate solos. Done. When it works out that the song is one of those that writes itself in 20 minutes, it's easily possible to do 3 songs a day (though I never have - writing well is a little dry right now).

And in 2008, I was a PG beginner too.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.
