Chapter 4: Guided Tour of Band-in-a-Box 37

Set the Tempo

Let’s set the tempo to 160 beats per minute. The tempo is displayed in

the song title window with a default setting of 120 beats per minute.

Click with the mouse to adjust the tempo in increments of 5 beats per minute.

Clicking on the top of the numbers increases the tempo setting, clicking on the

bottom decreases it. The tempo can also be typed into the Main Settings dialog,

which opens from the menu Song | Title/Key/Tempo/Embel…, or with the

keystrokes Cmd+K. You can click 4 times on the metronome in this dialog to

set your tempo.

Tap the Tempo

Not sure of the tempo for your song? Tap it in real time on either the [-] key or

the [=] key on your computer keyboard. Four taps on the minus key sets the

tempo, four taps on the equal key sets the tempo and starts the song playing.

Finishing the Song Arrangement

Use the powerful musical intelligence of features like the Harmonies and the

Soloist to add the final touches to your song. The Edit Bar Settings dialog (F5

function key) lets you fine-tune your arrangement by changing patches, styles,

harmonies, tempo, and meter anywhere in the song.
