Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial 13

many times we want the program to play through the chords, in what key and

how fast.

Framing the Song

To tell Band-in-a-Box where the start and end of the song is, we look at the

middle of the Band-in-a-Box main screen.

Locate the framing settings, there are three of them. The numbers (1 -32) in

brackets are the bar numbers for the beginning and the end of the Chorus. The

number 3 to the right of the brackets is the number of times the Chorus repeats.

In the example above, the Chorus starts at bar 1, ends on bar 32, and is going to

play 3 times. You can change these settings to play more choruses, or make the

Chorus start later, for example in the case where you want an intro to play.

Setting the Key

In the example above, the key is set to C. However, you can set this to any key.

In our first view of the chordsheet, the blues song was in the key of F. If you do

change the key, Band-in-a-Box will offer to transpose the chordsheet for you.

This is especially useful when loading in new songs and transposing them to

other keys. If you’ve entered a progression that you intend for a particular key,

and then choose the key afterward, you should say no when asked to transpose

the chordsheet.

Setting the Tempo

If you know the tempo value of your song, you can enter it in the tempo box.

The song example above has a tempo of 120. There is an even faster way to

enter a tempo. Locate the minus key [-] and the equals key [=] in the number

row of your computer keyboard, they are usually next to each other. If you tap

the [-] key 4 times at your tempo, Band-in-a-Box will set the tempo

automatically for you. If you tap the [=] key four times, Band-in-a-Box will set

the tempo and begin song playback!

Press Play

When you’re ready, just press the [Play] button or the F4 function key and

Band-in-a-Box will immediately generate and play a professional arrangement

of your song using the settings and the style you selected.
