Hi Dan.
I remember some month ago you said that there is development with taking BIAB chord sheets and importing them to VA. Can you please let me know if it was done?
If yes, how to use it please.

Thank you!

Dan

Yes, actually possible, but want to add the repeat bars before advertise the feature.
But did not understand yet how it is coded inside BIAB files, after few days of search

bluebeat

Will it work if it is linear, no repeat bars?
If yes, please let me know how. Really interested.
Thank you.

Dan

Hello, what is the name extension for the style ? vArranger say "this is not valide style" with the .STYL and another as MGU but sometime I can load the songchord and is really good !  :D

semimi

Hello
I confirm  ; with several styles biab  with  .STY extension I have the same message "this is not valide style"

claudio

Hi,

You can only read the chord files with the mgu, mg4, mg1, sgu, ... extensions. To load LOAD then the SONGCHORD window opens,

BIAB Sty files do not work. :)

You seems to don't like surprises ... or can't wait :)
By the way can you post one biab file that won't load?

semimi

Hello
yes , mgu files load song chords screen , I have seen that , there are also sometime sty files ( old files and very lite 3/4ko ) and these files don't work in varranger
I join 2 files for example

claudio



Hello

I also attach some .sty files that do not work :)

Dan

vArranger can't load biab styles

It can load song chords from biab songs

Sometimes some the styles Biab can be loaded  :D

Dan

They should be songs that contains the style too.
There are tons of different biab formts... Every year a new format :)...
There are probably more things to discover

Dan, it is a good starting point, and partly is usable. However BIAB is using Rests, Stops, Holds, that do not translate well into vArranger.
My idea was using some lines from styles to add to songs of BIAB, but it is not syncing to timeline well enough if rests/stops were used in BIAB. A lot of "chopping" needs to be done in DAW.
As I said, it is a good starting point.

How do you load a BIAB song with the file extension .mg4 .mg1. When I try to load the file it comes back with non supported file.

You need to use the new version 1.19

Thanks Dan, I did receive 1.19 but have yet to install it.
