For example, the chord Gm7 in the key of F would be displayed as II
m7
(in Roman Numeral Notation), 2
m7
(in
Nashville Notation), and Re
m7
in Solfeggio. In Italy and other parts of Europe, chords like C7 are always referred to
by the Solfeggio name (“Do 7” for C7) regardless of the key signature.
These systems are very useful for learning or analyzing tunes, because they are independent of the key signature.
This setting is made in the “Chord Display Type” list box in the
Preferences dialog.
When a new notation mode is selected, a message will report the change
on the main screen. Click anywhere in the message box to close it.
Part Markers
Style variations for your arrangement are entered in the Chordsheet by clicking on a bar number to set a part marker.
Each click toggles to the next available substyle part marker (a, b, etc.) or removes the part marker. Regular styles
have two substyles, and Band-in-a-Box MultiStyles have four substyle variations – a, b, c, and d.
Adding Substyles in a Song
You can add more substyles to an individual song with a right-click on any bar number. This opens the Substyle
Change Menu where you can define up to 24 substyles, from “a” to “x.”
Making a MultiStyle
You can make your own MultiStyles from existing styles in the StyleMaker, which opens with the menu commands
User | Make A New Style (STYLE MAKER and User | Edit Existing User Style or with the hot keys Option+Y.

opens. Look for the “Multistyle(s)” box.

zzjazz;zzbossa and these will appear as MultiStyles, substyles c/d/e/f etc.
