Can BIAB2023 be set to four optional boxes for each bar? Now each bar can click to select 2 boxes. As a result, I cannot select the following chords and use enter+shift to play! I think it is more appropriate to turn each bar into four selection boxes. This is more practical than the micro chord function.
I don't know why it's like that. If you could select each beat it would be better I would of thought. Also make the highlight selection highlight per beat rather than only be able to select the whole bar as you might only want to regenerate 2 beats of the bar.

You confuse me with your question as you already have 4 beats to the bar.
In BiaB the first two beats of a 4-beat bar are separated by a comma ',', e.g. E and Eb, the same for the second two beats (beats 3 & 4) e.g. D, Db.
But you must already know this, surely?

Exactly! Having the option to set the box resolution to 16th notes or 8th note triplets would be much better than micro chords.

Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
The approach they took to give us more subdivisions was to implement Microchords. However, I agree that four 'entry areas' in each cell in the chordsheet (or 3 if in 3/4 time) would be more sensible with or without the Microchords. The need for a comma is probably the first or second question new users ask about here. Other software displays in terms of four beat to a measure with no need for special entry.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
Now with Micro Chords you have 16 beats per bar, I would have to look deeper into it all and see if there is a way to bypass the 4 beats limitations to give real time signatures greater than 4/4. RealBand will give them but you need to have actual RealTracks recorded in these. You just wouldn't have micro chords on these other time signatures. Here's 6/8 real time signature:
In my view, they took something that was already a poor design (chord delineation using a comma), and made it more complicated by adding the 'micro-chords' functionality.
The correct approach surely would have been to allow a chord to be positioned anywhere in the bar, the same way that a note can be placed anywhere in the bar.

I agree.

That's right. Everyone agrees. How to let BIAB officials know that four bars can be input for each bar. It should not be difficult.

yes. I don't like using commas. I like to turn each bar directly into four grids. Even 8 grids and 16 grids. Now there are only two grids, which are not easy to use. In this way, you can click to select each grid, and use "enter+shift" to play chords
