“Play Selected Area as a Loop” function!
Click on the[Loop] button, Shift-click on the [Play] button, or press
F10 (Play Selected Area as Loop) and the program will play a selected
region, and loop the selection.
For example, you can select bars 10 and 11, and then press F10, and bars 10 and 11 will play looped.
To use this function:
Select a region on the Chordsheet.
Choose Play | Play (loop) Highlited Section (or press F10).
The selected region will then play, and continue looping until STOP is pressed.
“Transpose” Chordsheet option!
A “Transpose” option has been added to the Preferences-Display Options-Chordsheet settings!
This is useful for non-concert pitch instruments like Tenor Saxophone. This option is also available on the Notation
window.
StyleMaker Enhancements!
If you don’t save the style, the previous style will load in, instead of reverting to “ZZJAZZ.STY.”
“Auto Endings” added for Styles without Endings!
If you‘ve made a style, and haven’t included an ending, a 2-bar ending can now be generated automatically, based
on the style. This makes it easier to make complete styles using the Style Wizard, which makes a style by analyzing
a MIDI file.
To hear an example, load in the song c:\bb\Tutorial – BB 2005\No Ending.MGU. This song uses
NOENDING.STY, a style that doesn’t have an ending. An ending will be generated automatically for this style.
No drum crash on Bar 1 option!
The very first bar of the song is (optionally) no longer considered to be following a fill, so a drum crash cymbal
won’t be played. Most drummers wouldn’t play a crash cymbal on bar 1 of the song.
This is optional, and is set in Preferences-Arrangement Options.
New Hot keys added for Prefs tab dialog!
This allows navigation of the Prefs tab by single keystrokes.
