Band in a box

I am not sure if im posting this in the right forum, but i am having a little trouble with the program Band in a Box. If any of you are familiar with this could you explain to me how to change the time signature, i know the default is 4/4, but i would like to play some songs in 3 and 5, and some others. Could someone please explain.
Thanks

I change to a Style that is in the time I want. Finding a BIAB file with a song in the desired time is a good way to find the name of a Style that works.

Alternately design your own style. 8-)

You guys might be interested in this site:

http://www.midistudio.com/BIAB/List.htm

It has downloadable zip files with BIAB ready tunes, hundreds of jazz standards and others.

Scarf these now b 4 they are gone. Burn them to CD. Once upon a time, files like these were on the Yahoo group site. They will be found & forced off by greedy music ogres.
