Chapter 5: The Main Screen 47

In the Title window you can create a Song Title, change the Style of the song,

change the Key Signature the song is using, define the Tempo of the song,

define where the Chorus begins and ends and how many Choruses the song

has. To change these settings, click on the setting you wish to change.

Favorite songs

button -

Favorite styles

button -

The favorite songs button [F] activates a list of your most recently played 150

songs. This allows you to quickly load songs that have been used in your last

sessions with Band-in-a-Box. You will find this to be the best way to load songs

into Band-in-a-Box, since the list generated will give you instant access to the

songs you are most likely to be playing with, regardless of where the song is

located on your hard drive. Check “OK To Add recent files...” to allow your

recently loaded songs to be added to this list. (File | Open Favorite Songs... or

Shift+F3 also opens this window.)

Press the [song] button (or Ctrl+F3) to launch the Select song

by Title window, described in full elsewhere in this manual.

Tip: Click the “Play when selected” checkbox at the bottom of the song list window to have

Band-in-a-Box play your song immediately upon selection.

Like the favorite songs button, the favorite styles button [f] activates a window

with a list of the 150 styles you have used most recently. This lets you quickly

load in styles that have been used your last few sessions with Band-in-a-Box.

This will likely become your preferred method of choosing styles in Band-in-a-

Box since your favorite styles are usually near the top of the list. Click the

“Play When Chosen” checkbox to have Band-in-a-Box play your song

immediately upon selecting a style. (User | Open Favorite Styles... or Shift+F9

also opens this window.)

You get to the StylePicker window by pressing the [.STY]

button or with the keystrokes Ctrl+F9. This feature is

explained in full elsewhere in this manual.

Harmony Area

The Harmony area displays the current Melody and Thru Harmony.

The [M] button is for Melody Harmony - in this case it's set to trumpet/trombone

(3rds) harmony. Whatever the melody plays will come out with

trumpet/trombone harmony in thirds. Pressing the [f] button allows you to
