Melody Menu
Track Type
Normally you'd leave the track type set to Single. But you can set it to:
- Multi (16) -Channel – All channels get preserved, and outputted on
the channels, this would be useful for importing an entire MIDI file,
and playing it from the Melody channel (using a silent style).
- Guitar – Channels 11 to 16 will display on the guitar as strings 11 to
16, TAB will show, the notation will be up an octave, and the MIDI
file will contain the channels preserved.
- Piano – In this mode, channels 8 and 9 are treated as the left and
right hand of a piano part.
- Selecting any one of Bass, Ukulele, Mandolin, Banjo (5-string), or
Violin will display the correct tablature in the Notation window and
the correct fretboard in the Guitar window.
- Set the track to match any of the 11 alternate guitar tunings, such as
DADGAD, Open G, or Double Drop D, supported by Band-in-a-
Box. Then you’ll see the correct notes on the guitar fretboard, in the
notation and tablature.
Melodist – Generate Melody and Chords launches the Melodist feature.
Melody Maker submenu items allow you to edit Melodist files using the Melody Maker.
