timing

Post by Bernie McCrary »

I guess I don't fully understand BIAB. Here is my problem. Apparently biab is written in 4/4 timing. If I want to change it to 3/4 timing I go to edit and go down to (set timing signature) click that and click the dot for 3/4 timing. There is no place to save the setting so it goes back to 1/4 timing. How do I change the timing setting??

Thanks
Bernie

When you go to edit and select "set timing signature", that is for a "range of bars" that you enter into the "starting at bar#" box and the "number of bars" box. Example - to add a bar of 2/4 in a 4/4 song to extend a chord by 2 beats.

If your trying to have the entire song play in 3/4 time, then you need to select a 3/4 "style" for the song.
