Boost Vel. of Pushes by
The pushes in Band-in-a-Box are the chords that get played before the beat.
Typically, pushes are played a little louder than other patterns. You can leave
this setting at 0, or set it to between 0 and 10.
Show Chords with push/rest chars
The push character is the caret symbol (^). So a C chord with a push is
displayed as
^C
.
The rest character is a period (.). So a C chord with a rest is displayed as
C.
on
chordsheet. If you prefer to not see these characters displayed, then set this to
false. These characters won't show up on the printout regardless of this setting.
Show Rests in color
If checked, pushes are displayed in GREEN, and rests are displayed in RED.
This only applies to the Chord Sheet (not the notation)
Allow any Rests
You can disable the rests feature. You might want to do this if you've got a song
with a lot of rests in it, and are then having difficulty recording a melody
because you don't hear the drums providing the beat (due to the drums resting).
