Adding A Tag In Band In A Box
After you click on the "OK" button the box will close. Now enter in the chords that you want from measure
21 to 24. I've entered the tag part along with the ending already. Now when Band in a Box gets to the end of
measure 16 on the last time through the loop, it will jump to measure 21 and play to the end of measure 24 and
then end. Play the song and listen and watch what Band in a Box does when it gets to the tag along with how
the ending sounds. Look at the box in the center with the 20 in it that tells Band in a Box where the end of
the verse is. Remember this as it is important. This box tells Band in a Box where the end of the verse is, NOT
where the end of the song is. If you changed this from a 20 to a 24, then Band in a Box would play everything
from the first measure to measure 24 and then loop back to the 5th measure and play to the 24th measure. The last
time through the loop Band in a Box would play until the end of measure 16 and then jump to measure 21 and play
to the end of measure 24 and this is not what we want, so you need to tell Band in a Box where the end of the
verse is before it loops back and not the end of the song or the total measures that the song has. Will get into
endings a little in another help session. Save your work as we are still building on this track.
