Song Settings Dialog
The [S] button on the main screen will bring up the Song Settings dialog. The keystrokes Ctrl+N key or the
Edit | Settings (for This Song)… menu command also brings up this window.
Here, you can choose from various song settings such as chorus embellishments, tag jumps, and endings, to make
your song interesting and varied.
These are additional song settings that are saved with the song.
Vary Style in Middle Choruses
If set to “Yes,” the song will play in substyle “b” throughout the Middle Choruses. The Middle Choruses are
considered all choruses except the first and last ones.
For example, in the Jazz Swing Style, since the “b” substyle is Swing, all of the middle choruses will have swing
bass. (Whereas the “a” substyle is playing half notes on the bass.)
If set to “No” the middle choruses will play A and B substyles exactly as they appear in the song as outlined by the
part markers.
Allow Pushes in Middle Choruses
This is most frequently used if there are pushes in a song (indicated by the “^” symbol), but you don't want these
pushes to play in the middle choruses. Simply set the checkbox to “No” (disabled) and the pushes will be ignored in
the middle choruses. This is to allow for uninterrupted soloing choruses.
Allow Rests in First/Middle/Last Chorus
These parameters allow you to decide which choruses will play any rests that are present in a song (indicated by the
“.” symbol). For example, you may have put rests into a song but don't want the rests to play in the middle
choruses, since you are using them for soloing: simply set the ALLOW RESTS IN MIDDLE CHORUSES checkbox
to “No” (off).
