Copy to Melody Track copies the entire contents of the Soloist track
to the Melody Track. This is useful for a temporary holding area for
your soloist or for bouncing tracks.
Move to Melody Track copies the entire contents of the Soloist track
and erases the original data from the Soloist track, preparing it for a
new track or data.
Swap Melody and Soloist Track performs a “double copy/move” so
that the data that was in the Soloist track is transferred to the Melody
track and vice versa. This is also known as track bouncing.
Convert Harmony to Soloist Track… converts a single line Soloist
track to include the current harmony selection.
Remove Harmony (or Guit solo) from Soloist Track removes a
harmony from a track, providing that the harmony was put there by
Band-in-a-Box in the first place using the Convert Harmony to Soloist
Track command.
Generate Guitar Chord Solo opens the Guitar feature dialog for
generating a guitar chord solo.
Rechannel to Guitar Display converts channels on a track to channels
11 to 16. Channels 11 to 16 are used by Band-in-a-Box to indicate
strings 1 to 6 of a guitar. It uses the current position marker on the
guitar for this command.
Utilities
There is a Utilities sub-menu that has utility functions to eliminate note
overlap and transpose the Solo.
Eliminate Note Overlap – Preserve Double Stops / Eliminate Note
Overlap – Remove Double Stops opens a Choose Range dialog to
select the range of bars where note overlap will be eliminated while
double stops are either preserved or eliminated.
Transpose One Octave DOWN / Transpose One Octave UP
transposes the Soloist part one octave in either direction. This is often
useful if the Soloist instrument has been changed. Transposing can be
done while the song plays.
Track Type
Normally you'd leave the track type set to Single, but you can set it to:
