If so does it work pretty well? Thanks everybody! WSS [b]Westside Steve www.westsidesteve.com www.YouTube.com/WestsideSteveSimmons

This is what the ACW (automatic chord wizard) does. What version of BIAB do you have? A few years ago, ACW was changed. The video below explains the latest version of ACW. Regards, --Noel MY SONGS...

I think it is so much easier to do it in SongMaster Pro and export the MusixXML and import it to BIAB (the chords get right from the start without any struggling with the bar lines as often happens when in BIAB).

Good suggestion, however, the problem I have found is BIAB will not import the midi mapp (Am I wrong? ). Granted, not all songs need the mapp, but when you do, BIAB chord wizard is the only way. This is on my wish list for the 50 new features to be added this month. Final Tour - Not with a Bang but with a wimper!

It is a distinct process, you have to line up bars (due to fluctuation in tempo sometimes) but I've done it in RB many times. Just tap F8 on the one of each measure you hear in ACW. Tempo map adjusts. Best to do this before chords, 'though, to save time. RB handles that behind the scenes also (re-interprets the chords to the new time line as you go). After a few measures RB even looks ahead and adjusts future measures as you go. Last edited by rharv; 11/03/24 11:05 AM. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
