Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 55

You can disable the ending for a certain song. You can disable the endings for

all songs by clearing the checkmark for the “Allow Any Endings” setting in the

Edit | Preferences menu item.

Start the 2 bar ending early The usual Band-in-a-Box ending is 2 bars

appended to the end of the song. This new option gives you an alternative to

end the song on the last bar of the song. Band-in-a-Box will still play an ending

on the chord that you specify, and the ending will occur as a 2 bar phrase

beginning 2 bars before the end of the form. This results in more natural

endings for many songs.

For example, the song Old Folks At Home is a 32-bar chorus song from bar 1 to

bar 32. It ends with the last melody note on bar 31 with the word “home,” but

Band-in-a-Box normally plays a 2 bar ending, starting at the end of bar 32 and

going for 2 bars more. For a song like this, it is more natural to end the song at

the end of bar 32.

To set this in Band-in-a-Box choose the Song | Additional Song Settings… item

and set “Start the ending 2 bars early” to true.
