Chapter 3: Summary of New Features 17

Strauss-in-a-Box

Transform 4/4 Melody to a Waltz 3 /4 (“Strauss-in-a-Box”).

You can now automatically transform any 4/4 song/melody to a Waltz 3/4 feel.

Simply load in any 4/4 song and change the style to a Waltz style. The program

will offer to transform the melody so that it works as a Waltz (or choose the

added menu item Melody-Edit-Utilities-Transform to 3/4). This function is

referred to as “Strauss” in honor of Johann Strauss – the famous Waltz

composer. It is fun and educational to hear and play familiar songs in a Waltz

feel. Band-in-a-Box uses intelligent algorithms to transform the melody to the

new time signature.

To use this feature, load in any song in 4/4 time. Then load in a Waltz style. If

there’s a Melody (or Soloist) present, you’ll be asked if it’s OK to change the

Melody from 4/4 to 3/4. If you click YES to that, the transformation will occur

and you can listen to the Melody in 3/4 time.

If you click NO to the offer to transform the Melody, you can still convert it

later by choosing Melody | Edit | Utilities | Transform 4/4 to 3/4. Note that if

you choose the manual command, the Melody prior to transformation should

have 8 beats before bar 1 beat 1 of the Melody begins (as it normally would in a

4/4 style)

Transform “Waltz” Melody to 4/4 (“De-Strauss” the Melody.)

If you have a song with a 3/4 time signature, you can now instantly hear it as a

4/4 feel. Simply load the Waltz song and then change the style to a 4/4 style.

Band-in-a-Box will prompt you to transform the melody to a 4/4 feel and will

then will change the melody. There’s also a dedicated menu item for this,

Melody-Edit-Utilities-Transform to 4/4. Band-in-a-Box uses intelligent

algorithms to transform the melody to the new time signature. (Note: If loading

from the StylePicker window, you need to have “Prompt w/preview” for the

prompt option to appear.)
