You can nudge chords and/or Melody/Soloist parts.
A “Fold” routine converts a song with a single large chorus to multiple
smaller choruses, with optional tag ending.
A Search/Replace Chords feature will search and replace chords, including
support for asterisks (*) as wildcards.
A “simplify Jazz chords” option will simplify chords like C13#11#5 to simply C9.
Repeats and Endings
You can add repeats and endings so that the Lead Sheet window will display and printout using 1st /2nd endings.
The Repeats and 1st/2nd Endings button launches the Edit Repeats and Endings dialog where you can
enter repeats, 1st and 2nd endings, DC, DS al coda and more. The “Auto-Find” feature will
intelligently detect 1st/2nd endings automatically for you, so you can view and convert any Band-
in-a-Box song to include 1st/2nd endings in lead sheet format.
The Edit Repeats and Endings dialog can also be entered by right-clicking on the chordsheet and selecting
Repeats/Codas/1st-2nd endings from the pop-up menu.
When you have created your repeats and endings, either manually or automatically, simply select the “Fake Sheet”
checkbox on the Chordsheet or Lead Sheet window. Band-in-a-Box will hide the repeated bars and display the fake
sheet using 1st and 2nd endings.
There is a tutorial for this feature in the Tutors and Wizards chapter, and also in the Help file topic Repeats Edit
Dialog.
