Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 51

To change the key, click on the key signature. This

displays a popup menu where you choose the new

key that you would like. Band-in-a-Box then asks if

it is “OK to transpose Lead sheet?” If you answer

[Yes] the entire song will be transposed to a new key.

Answer [No] and the key signature will change but

the song will not be transposed. Select [Cancel] to

exit without changing the key signature.

Setting Tempo

The tempo of the song is displayed on the main screen in the Title window.

Tempo can be set on the computer keyboard with 4 taps of either the minus (-)

key or the equals (=) key. When the tempo is tapped on the [=] key, song

playback will start automatically at the tapped tempo.

To change the tempo of a song

while the song is playing you may use the [ and ]

keys to change the tempo by 5 at a time. Or you can move the mouse pointer over the

tempo setting and c

lick the mouse as follows:

The tempo display is broken up into 4 quadrants.

Mouse clicking in these four areas will change the

tempo by +1, -1, +5, or -5 before or during play.

You can change the tempo at any bar in the song with the Edit Bar Settings

dialog box. Press F5 or the keystroke combination Option+B or go to Bar

Settings in the Edit menu to open the dialog. The tempo change you enter takes

effect at the beginning of the bar and remains until a new tempo change at

another bar is inserted.

Song Intros, Choruses and Endings

A typical song has the following elements:

- Introduction (Intro). If present is typically 4 bars long.

- Chorus(es). Typically 3 or 4 choruses in a 3-minute song.

- Ending. Typically a 2 bar ending following all of the choruses.

Note: We use the term “chorus” as it is used in Jazz music. A chorus therefore means

once through the entire form of the song. A typical length of a chorus is 32 bars. A song

may have the form AABA where the A sections are verses and the B section is the bridge.

This entire form AABA is considered one chorus.
