Current Style:

This shows the file name of the current style in use.

Style Information…

Shows a summary of information about the current style.

OK to Load Styles w/ songs

Normally this is checked so that songs load with the associated style. But let’s

say we’ve discovered a new style, and want to try it out on many different

songs. In that case, we would ensure that this item is NOT checked. Then when

a song is loaded, it will play in the new style we are trying out.

Mute Melody during middle choruses

This gives the Soloist(s) a chance to play on a given song during the middle

choruses. Toggle this option “On” if you would like the melody to be muted

during these choruses.

Kill Melody in Middle choruses

This command will permanently erase the middle choruses of the Melody.

Force song to # choruses

Toggle this option “On” if you would like a given song to have a preferred

number of choruses.

Auto-Generate Song Title

Band-in-a-Box will generate an infinite variety of titles for your songs.

‘Jazz Up’ the Chords

This will “Jazz Up” the chords by changing chords like C and Cmaj to 7

and 6

chords. Song embellishment will be turned on for the song. Select the type of

7ths from the list box then click on the [OK – Jazz UP] button.

‘Jazz Down’ the Chords

This will “Jazz Down” the chords by changing chords with 7ths (e.g. C7) to

triads (e.g. C) and 9ths and 13ths to 7

chords. Song embellishment is turned

off. Press [OK – Jazz Down] to proceed.

Chord Substitution Dialog (choose your own)

This allows you to see a list of possible chord substitutions for the current chord

progression.

Auto-Generate Chord Substitutions…

This will automatically pick chord substitutions for all or part of the song.

Chord Builder…

Allows you to build up chords using mouse clicks. You can enter chords “by

ear” without having to know the actual chord names or any music theory. This

feature also illustrates the differences between various chord types.
