Renumbering Bars

Post by Dennis Manuel »

Not sure how to ask this question but here goes.

Please see the diagram below:
If a song has a 5 bar intro, how do I get BIAB to rearrange the bars?

Normally the bars would be arranged in this manner.
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

But I want the bars to look like this and no rests.
1 2 3 4
5
6 7 8 9

Are you using BIAB for Mac?

Try clicking on the number 6 on the chord sheet. To change it back, click on the number until it changes back.

What Norman suggested is how I'd do it, but it doesn't work in Mac. This is one of the reasons I don't use BIAB for Mac. You might want to contact PG Music to see if this has changed with recent Mac releases. BTW: it will still play OK like you're doing it, but it is kind of confusing to look at, and keep up with. There's ways to work around it.

This is what I did.

Clicked on bar 6, then clicked the part marker and it moved bar 6 into the correct position. Thanks you guys for responding.
