Make Your Own Songs

Now that you know how much fun it is to play music with Band-in-a-Box,

you’ll be pleased to see how easy it is to make songs of your own. This section

shows you how to make a new song, with step-by-step instructions from start to

finish.

Start with a clean sheet. Use either the menu command File | New or Edit |

Clear Lead sheet, or the keystrokes Cmd+N to blank the chordsheet.

Name the song. Enter the title of the song by clicking in the title area.

Select the Key

Click on the key select list and change the key of your song

instantly. Click on “YES” to the “OK to transpose Lead sheet?”

prompt and Band-in-a-Box will automatically transpose the entire

song.

Type in the chords

The chords we will enter are F for 1/2 a bar, Bb for 1/2 a

bar, and C7 for a bar.

Mouse click on the first cell in the chordsheet and type in the chord symbol.

The chord name will appear in the chord box. Press the return key to enter the

chord on the chordsheet and advance the chord cell ½ bar. To enter two chords

in a chord cell, type the chord names separated by a comma, e.g., f,bb. Continue

until the song is complete.

This song will have no intro, and the chorus will be 32 bars long. The

chordsheet we want to end up with will look something like this:

1 2 ... 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 ... 266 267
