Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 84

Shrink/Expand

The Shrink command will reduce durations of chords by ½ (e.g.,

4beats>>2beats, 2beats>>1beat). Expand doubles the durations of chords (e.g.,

1beat>>2beats, 2beats>>4beats).

Unfold (convert to 1 big chorus)

If you have a song with 3 choruses, and want to convert it to a single large

chorus, this command “unfolds” the song into just that; one BIG chorus. This is

useful for customizing a song.

When selected, Band-in-a-Box will display all choruses and verses of a song

without loops or repeats. This is a useful command if you wish to make use of

the Patch/Harmony change at any bar feature, or if you are going to generate a

MIDI file for use with a sequencer or sequencing program.

Slide Tracks

This allows you to move any of the bass, drums, piano, guitar, strings, melody

or the soloist track ahead or behind by a certain amount. Setting these numbers

will slide the entire track ahead or behind by the # of ticks (120 ticks per beat).

You could, for example, slide the bass track so it plays a little ahead of the rest

of the band. This has the effect of making the bass player “drive the band” and

is useful in Jazz styles to make the music sound more exciting.

Allow Any Slides

If you want the slides to occur, then check this box.

Humanize Slides

If this box is checked, the slides will be randomized to slide the track a different

amount for each note. The amount varies from 0 ticks to the slide setting for the

instrument. A track that always plays notes early by a certain amount tends to

sound out of time, whereas randomizing the slide makes the track sounds more

human.

Song Memo…

A song memo of up to 2000 characters may be added. Clicking on the [memo]

button located to the right of the song title launches the Song Memo dialog

where you can type in a short memo about the song, style, etc. The keystrokes

Option+M will also launch the Song Memo.

Enter/Copy/Move Lyrics

These features enable the typing, editing, and exporting of song lyrics.
