Chapter 3: Band-in-a-Box 2010.5 for Macintosh
30
New in the StyleMaker
In the Misc. Style Settings dialog (User | Edit Existing User Style [Patch]) there is a new Timebase
option that allows styles to use Half Time and Double Time RealTracks.
For example, you can make a Jazz Ballad style (tempo 65) that uses a Sax Soloist at tempo 140 (playing double
time).
And much more…
Band-in-a-Box window is now sizable. When size changes, chordsheet, notation, and other windows redraw in
proportion to the new size. This allows you to have Band-in-a-Box open as a small window on screen with other
programs, and you still see a full chordsheet. The screen size is remembered between sessions.
To resize the window, just use the sizing control at the bottom-right corner of the window. Hold
down the mouse button while you drag the sizing control.
Support enhanced for non-concert instruments (Bb/Eb sax, trumpet etc.).
Now when the Chordsheet is transposed, you can type in chords in the transposed key, and they will show up as
you have entered them, instead of requiring you to enter the chords in the concert key.
More Soloists are now available, up to 2000.
Many messages changed to “yellow alerts” at top right of screen, so you don’t have to respond to the message,
interrupting workflow.
Have fun!
