Whoever posted the jpg of the BIAB Bluegrass, do you still have that file? I'd love to get it and play with it some. To say I am unfamiliar with the genre would be like saying Ft Knox is a little bank in Kentucky.

Here is why I am at a loss to grasp this whole conversation. In one breath, I hear "We need BIAB to write in 1/8th notes." And in the next breath "Bluegrass players don't read music or play charts." If that is the case, you must be playing by ear. So how does your ear know if the music is written in 1/8th or 1/16th notes? And why does it matter as far as printing music out? I am interested in this discussion but lost as to what the origins and logic are.

The example I referred to above I viewed and it says it was in 70 bpm. What happens if you make it 140 bpm?

The disclaimer here is that I have never used BIAB, always RB, and never written anything that wasn't 110-140bpm groove kind of music that didn't require that fast chicken-pickin' kind of thing that Bluegrass is.


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