Style Volume Changes: Default =
Styles occasionally come with volume changes. To prevent these, uncheck this
box.
Extra Note Offs: Default =
Leave this box unchecked unless you are having trouble with stuck notes when
you press [Stop]. If you check this box, Band-in-a-Box will send a sweep of all
notes off.
Concert Pitch Adjust: Default = 0
This is useful for non-concert instruments such as Saxophone or Trumpet. The
output is transposed so that you see the music in one key, and it plays in another.
Trumpet players and other Bb instruments should set Concert Pitch Adjust to -2
(i.e. minus 2). Alto Sax and other Eb instruments should set Concert Pitch
Adjust to +3.
Here's an example of an Alto player using Band-in-a-Box by setting the
concert pitch adjust to +3.
If the song is in the concert key of C transpose the song to A using the key
signature box on the main screen. The song will display in the key of A, but
with the Concert Pitch Adjust set to +3 it will play 3 semitones higher, in the
key of C. So the Alto player can read the music in the transposed key while
hearing it in the concert key. The song can also be printed out in the key of A.
