I've made a backing track for Will Ye Go Lassie Go which is in 6/8 time and I'm having a problem with the length of the ending which is either too long or too short regardless of how I play around with the chords for the last few bars. On the chord screen in Song Settings I have unchecked the box for generating a 2 bar ending for this song. The tune plays twice so there are 19 bars in total.

Thank you

Hi Narayano,

Because BIAB is designed mostly with 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures in mind, getting the best out of the program for 6/8 often requires a bit of lateral thinking.

Can you please post a link to your song file so that we can download it and have a look at the file in BIAB and see how best to answer your question.

To post a link to the song file (in case you're not sure how to do it)....

1. upload the SGU or MGU file into Dropbox

2. go to the Dropbox folder, rightclick on the songfile and select "Copy Dropbox Link"

3. paste that link exactly as is in a reply to this post

Regards,
Noel

Hi Noel

You're always very helpful - many thanks.

I'm afraid my Dropbox is full at the moment and as I use it very infrequently I'm reluctant to pay £8 a month to renew it. I shall struggle on for the moment and bear in mind your advice about lateral thinking.


Thanks again

Narayano

You could put it on Google Drive or One Drive and share from there also.
