Very Simple Question

I have BIAB 2007; is it possible in that version or later to repeat multiple verses and then follow with a "Refrain" so that you can keep everything in one screen? I do not want a long scrolling document.

Use the three buttons to the right of the tempo window to specify the bar to begin the chorus then the next button to specify the last bar of the chorus then the third button specifies how many choruses. Hold the curser over a button to get a description.

Andy, thanks for considering my question. In my version of BIAB those three buttons do not allow a repeat except as an end. It will allow a tag, but no refrain and no bridge beyond repeated verses. I was hoping someone might say that later versions allow the insertion of repeats- just like in sheet music, but I'm starting have my doubts. As I said in my original question I am trying to avoid long scrolling documents for complex arrangements.

Right click on any bar, choose repeats codas and 1st and 2nd endings. This is where you make the repeats you want. I have biab 2007.5. Good Luck

David, what Joe says is right. I have the same version ans you, and it works for me. Good luck. Ya got to mess around a little with a trial track, and be prepared to MAKE MISTAKES as part of the learning experience!
