Chapter 5: Guided Tour of Band-in-a-Box

These buttons stand for Bass, Drums, Piano, Guitar, Strings, Melody, and Soloist. The

selected part (Bass) is highlighted in color.

Get back to the Melody track, by pressing the [M] button.

Ctrl+Shift+F5 is the hot key that allows you to switch tracks using

keystrokes.

Try turning the Clean function on/off. “Clean” notation is an

intelligent mode that eliminates grace notes and unusual notation,

producing a cleaner and much more readable notation.

This allows you to play in melodies using grace notes, and normal playing, without

worrying that the notation won’t display cleanly.

Let’s close the Notation window, by pressing the “note” button again. This

returns us to the familiar Band-in-a-Box screen.

Play the Jukebox

Use the

Jukebox for continuous playback of a list of Band-in-a-Box songs.

Click the [JukeBox] button to open the Juke Box Options dialog, a list of

options that controls how the songs in the chosen directory are played.

When you have chosen the options you want, click [PLAY JUKE BOX] to play all the

songs in the selected directory folder.

Use the Preview feature to automatically audition a complete directory of songs by

playing a part of each song and then moving on to the next one, or use the [<] and [>]

cursor buttons to navigate manually through the list of juke box songs.
