BIAB Files

The small band, swing band and mainly piano versions of the music on this site are produced by the program 'Band in a Box' (BIAB) (see PGMusic.com - suggest MegaPak version). You need a fairly recent version of that program to use these BIAB files.

With these files you can:
  • print out the melody and chords
  • create the style of music that suits your requirements
  • change the music (tempo, key changes, verses, instruments etc) to meet your needs

Sample of BIAB score - Tune: Abbot's Leigh


The BIAB files on this site are the files are 'as is'. That is, they contain the setups, styles, harmonies etc that I use - all of which you can easily change to your own requirements. To make a standard file (which is a simple task), you will need to do the following:


Remove the 'freezing' of the music.
Go to the 'Freeze' button, and click the 'un-freeze all tracks'. This allows you to generate a new version of the music.

Change the style.
I have created my own styles, which you will not have. Select a style you have (ensure it is the right 3/4 or 4/4 time).

Remove/Change any bar changes
Bars with a red square around the bar number, indicate that I have changed the bar setting for that bar. You may like to remove these setting (eg, harmonies, instrument changes etc).

I trust you will enjoy using these BIAB files to make the music sound the way you like it.
