I just got BIAB installed, and am working out some kinks. I'm figuring out how to put stuff in there, but I can't figure out how to work the first and second endings.

"Some Day" is the title of it (I think?), key of E, Chords go in the neighborhood of this:

Intro:
A A- E C#-
F# B (E Fdim)(F#- B7)

| |: E Edim F#- B7
E E7 (A C#7) F*-
B7 B7 E C#-
F# F# F#- B7

E Edim F#- B7
E E7 (A C#7) F#-
A A- E C#-
F# B (E Fdim)(F#- B7) :| |

But for the tag, it goes:

A A- E C#-
F# B7 G#- C#7
F#7 B7 E

How do I make BIAB understand that I want two different endings?

D.C. (Da Capo) al Coda: Repeat from the beginning of the song. When you get to the first coda sign, jump to the second coda sign and play to the end. The second coda sign marks the start of the coda section.

D.S. (Dal Segno) al Coda: This is the same as D.C. al coda except that instead of repeating from the beginning of the song, you repeat from the D.S. sign.

D.C. al Fine: Repeat from the beginning of the song and play to the bar marked Fine. In most music, the bar marked Fine will appear shortly before the bar marked D.C. al Fine.

D.S. al Fine: This is the same as D.C. al Fine, expect that instead of repeating from the beginning of the song, you repeat from the D.S. sign.

Here is an example of how you might use a D.S. al Coda. Say you have written out a 56 bar song in Band-in-a-Box that looks like this:

4 bar intro
8 bar verse
8 bar chorus
8 bar verse
8 bar chorus
8 bar bridge
8 bar chorus
4 bar ending

There are two types of repeats you could use to simplify your lead sheet and reduce the number of bars to 32:

1. First, you could set your song up to repeat the 1st verse and chorus. To do this, open the Repeats and Endings dialog, and make the following settings:

Type of repeat/ending: Repeats
Repeat begins at bar #: 5
# bars in single repeat: 16
Repeat: 2X

Since in this example you have already written out all 56 bars of your song in Band-in-a-Box, you don't need Band-in-a-Box to generate any new bars. So, leave "Generate (insert) new bars" unchecked. Press [OK-Make Repeat]

2. Next, you could set it up to play through the bridge, repeat a single chorus, and then jump straight to the ending (coda). You could use a D.S. al Coda to accomplish this.

Open the Repeats and Endings dialog, and make the following settings:

Type of Repeat/Ending: D.S. al Coda
DS after bar #: 44
Sign symbol at bar #: 13
Go to coda after bar #: 20

Once again, since you have already entered the chords for your entire song into Band-in-a-Box, leave "Generate (insert) new bars" unchecked. Press [OK-Make Repeat].

You're finished. You will notice that in the chord sheet (in Fakesheet mode) there is a space that separates the coda visually from the rest of the song, as is common in printed music. You should see the following 32 bars:

4 bar intro
8 bar verse
8 bar chorus
8 bar solo
4 bar ending (coda)
