Chapter 12: Tutors and Wizards 203

You can see that Band-in-a-Box chose the substitutions for about 70% of the

chords in the song (that's what we told it to do in the dialog). It began by

replacing the F7 chord with a Cm7 F9 progression. Some of the substitutions

chosen are more advanced than that (replacing an F7 with a B13 for example)

Here are the settings in the auto-substitution dialog that produced this result:

If you'd like Band-in-a-Box to only generate for a certain range of bars, you

should first highlight that range of bars in the chordsheet, then launch the dialog.

The Range will then be set to Part of the song and the bar # and # of bars

settings will also be set. You can override these settings with manual settings, if

necessary.

Using the Chord Substitution Wizard

Load in the song !Freddie.MGU. The tune begins with an F7 chord for 8 beats.

Let's make that part a little more interesting by trying some substitutions for that

chord.

- First, press Shift+Return with the highlight bar on bar 1. You'll hear the

F7 chord played.

- Then choose Edit | Chord Settings (Option+Z), and the Chord Options

dialog will be launched.

Notice the following new

buttons: Preview, Builder and

Chord Substitutions:

- The [Preview] button allows you to hear the chord, which is similar to what

we did above by pressing Shift+Return.
