Chapter 7: Notation and Printing 101

Use Chord Scale for Enharmonics

Band-in-a-Box ill automatically use the chord tones (1, 3, 5 and 7) in choosing

its enharmonics. If “Use Chord Scale for Enharmonics” is checked, Band-in-a-

Box will also use the enharmonics for the passing tones of the chord scale.

Enharmonics for Chord Tones are automatically based on the chord, as shown.

For example, on an F#7 chord in the key of Eb, the Ab note is part of the F#7

scale (as a G#, the 2nd of the scale), but is also part of the Eb key of the song. If

you want to display based on the chord scale, setting “Use Chord Scale for

Enharmonics” will display the note as a G# instead of Ab.

Enharmonics for passing tones are based on the chord if we “Use Chord Scale for Enharmonics.”

Intelligent accidentals (chord context)

The sharps and flats that Band-in-a-Box uses on the melody notes are also

context sensitive to the chord names. For example, if you are in the key of Eb,

and the chord is an E7, a G# note will show up as a G#, and not an Ab. This

means that the notation accidentals will automatically show up correctly.

Scroll Ahead by

The “Scroll Ahead by” option can be set to none, 1 bar, or 2 bars. This is useful

if you are reading the music from the Notation as it is scrolling. Since musicians

read ahead of the music, it is helpful for the music to scroll ahead. So when the

playback is on bar 4, you'll also see bar 5 of the next screen displayed. This

feature still shows you the current bar when it is scrolling ahead, so it is useful

even if you don't read ahead.

Tick Offset

The “Tick Offset” on the notation options is one of the keys to great looking

notation. It accounts for playing that is before or behind the beat. The track is

automatically scanned to determine the tick offset so that you don't have to set

this yourself. This results in better looking notation.

You may change this setting, but normally Band-in-a-Box will determine the

best tick offset automatically.
