with the "Generate new bars" setting unchecked.įor example, say you typed in the chords C - F - G - C in bars 1 through 4, and you want to tell Band-in-a-Box ® to repeat this section so that it plays twice. If you are having trouble, the easiest thing to do is to type your whole song out in linear form, then generate the repeat/1st-2nd ending etc. Not setting this correctly is the most common mistake made. If "generate (insert) new bars" is unchecked, Band-in-a-Box ® won't create any new bars it will use the bars in your song immediately following the section that you have told it to repeat. In the 'Edit Repeats and Endings' dialog, if "generate (insert) new bars" is checked, Band-in-a-Box ® will create as many new bars as are needed for the repeat, and will automatically insert the chords in those bars for you. When you use the 'Repeats\codas\1st-2nd endings' command, you need to tell Band-in-a-Box ® if you want it to generate new bars for the repeat, or if you want it to use bars that are already in your song.
The button will bring up a dialog that shows all of the currently defined repeats in your song.Īn important setting to understand is the "Generate (insert) new bars" checkbox. You first specify the type of repeat/ending on the left side of the dialog, then type in the bar numbers on the right side of the dialog. The Repeats and Endings dialog is accessed by right-clicking on the chord sheet window, or by going to the Edit menu and selecting Repeats/codas/1st-2nd endings. Note: you can globally enable/disable the display of repeats/endings in the Opt. The bars that would be hidden in fake sheet mode are shown in light grey when you aren't in fake sheet mode. In other words, if you play your song while looking at it in linear mode, the cursor will move from top to bottom without jumping around at all. If the 'FakeSh' box is unchecked (linear mode fake sheet mode disabled), Band-in-a-Box ® will show every bar in your song in linear form, including all repeated bars. If the 'FakeSh' box is checked (fake sheet mode enabled), Band-in-a-Box ® will hide all of the repeated bars so you can't see them. The Fake sheet mode setting is found on the main Band-in-a-Box ® screen underneath the song title window. Fakesheet mode allows you to hide bars 9-16 from view they are still there and Band-in-a-Box ® will play them, but you will only SEE bars 1 through 8. If you repeat bars 1 through 8 so that these bars play twice, the repeated bars will be bars 9 through 16.
When you create a repeat using the methods discussed in this tutorial, you are adding bars to your song.
