Add a Solo
That’s right! Band-in-a-Box can “solo like a pro” in over 200 styles.
Use the [Soloist] button on the main screen to open the Select Soloist dialog
box and choose from hundreds of soloist profiles, including RealTracks for
authentic live audio solos. The RealTracks soloists start at #361 in the list.
Use the preset Soloist settings, or choose your own Solo Mode and the Choruses where
you want a solo. The Soloist Maker [Edit…] button gives access to the advanced
settings in the Soloist Editor where you can edit existing profiles or create new Soloists
of your own.
To see the Soloist part play in standard music notation open the Notation
window and press the [S] button at the far right of the row of instrument
buttons.
View and Print Notation
The notation feature in Band-in-a-Box makes it possible to follow the music onscreen as
it plays, but it also does much more. We’ll use the song OLDFOLKS.MGU from the
Songs folder to explore the Notation window.
