Copying phrases / measures (midi BASS track) ?

Mitch Crane · Post by **Mitch Crane** » 12 Apr 2011 4:56 pm

In the notation mode (or elsewhere ?) how can I copy a phrase, or a number of measures from my bass track (midi) to another point in the song ?

Go to "Edit", then "copy from to".
Try it on a throw away track a time or two to get used to it, but it works very well once you get the hang of it.

Check all of the available selections carefully.

Good Luck,
David

David, I tried that it copies the chords just great, but not the in-progress edited bass track...unless I'm overlooking an important check-box ?

It may be a check box that's been missed. There are several to choose from. I've never tried it on a particular bass line that I've written, but it does work on solo parts that I've written.

Also works on styles that I've modified the bass line in and saved under a new style name.

Maybe someone else has had your exact experience and will chime in.

Good Luck,
David

Hi Mitch,

I rarely do that kind of thing from BIAB, but usually from RealBand. When I do I use the piano roll for the selected track.

Thanks Robert ! Piano roll is where it's done

Glad I could help Mitch, and I got the files also, thanks.
