Apologies if this has already been posted by someone else...
I've started using the plugin. It's been there for years but one of the things that stops me is that it doesn't appear to have one of the songwriting features I like best in the main program:
I like to experiment with chords on my keyboard and, when I find one I like, press Ctrl + Enter and BIAB puts it in the current bar and tells me what it is.
I would like to be able to write songs using the plugin. If it had more of the main program's features like this one, it might suit my workflow.
If this is already possible in the plugin, please let me know.
I use Presonus Studio One. Is there a way to transfer BIAB chords from the BIAB chord sheet into the Presonus chord track or the other way round?

I raised this question with PG Tech Support. They wrote:
"The BIAB plugin does not support key commands like Ctrl-Enter, as most DAWs intercept the keyboard and do not pass most keyboard commands like that along to any plugin. Ctrl-Enter is not necessary to enter chords - simply type the chord and press Enter, or press left/right/up/down to move between cells when entering chords."
I do realise that you can enter chords by typing the chord name but, in many cases, when experimenting with more complex chords (e.g. descending progressions) I don't know the names of all the more complex chords but it's very handy that the BIAB main program can recognise chords via MIDI keyboard. In the main program you do this by pressing Control + Enter. I would like this function in the plugin. If that's not possible with Ctrl + Enter then I would like some other way to have this MIDI chord recognition function for chord entry in the DAW plugin.
There is a workaround until they implement: If you have Biab running the DAW small always on top mode, your keyboard chords will be inputted to that, you can use AutoHotkey to copy that chord to the clipboard then paste into the BBPlugin. So you play the chord press a hotkey that will copy it from Biab to BBPlugin.
Yes, I think I'm going to have to keep working in the main program in parallel with my DAW until BIAB's songwriting features I like are included in the plugin.

I agree. That's what I'm doing also.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Try this Download https://www.autohotkey.com/ If you have Biab running As Administrator go to the install folder C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey and set AutoHotkey.exe to Run As Administrator. Remove the .mp4 from Biab Copy Midi Chord Input.ahk.mp4 unzip and run. It will run in the system tray "H" you can right click to exit. The hotkey is F2 but you can change it to what you like. Open Biab and make it small, set your midi keyboard input, Window menu > Midi Chord Detection > Midi Chord Detection The Sleep, 1000 is the delay from when it has copied the chord till it sends paste to where you have clicked in the BBPlugin chord sheet. So you play the chord hit F2 click in the BBPlugin chord sheet.
I will try and make one to do this automatically without Biab, so as you hit the chord on your keyboard it will automatically go in. winActivate, ahk_class CCLShadowWindowClass > this is to activate the Studio One Plugin window. If it's in another DAW it can be set to that. To get it to move to the next bar put another Send, {RIGHT}
so I think I will keep the main BIAB program open and use that for chord detection and then just write the chord name detected into the DAW plugin.
I'll probably carry on using the main program anyway for songwriting because it's so much quicker to experiment with alternative styles without having to render and drag out as in the plugin. And it has other features that I miss in the plugin.
That makes not difference if you have AutoHotkey installed or not as it's a script that is complied to an exe and does not require AutoHotkey to be installed, it's self contained: "The RAT delivery campaign starts from an AutoHotKey (AHK) compiled script," the researchers noted. "This is a standalone executable that contains the following: the AHK interpreter, the AHK script, and any files it has incorporated via the FileInstall command. In this campaign, the attackers incorporate malicious scripts/executables alongside a legitimate application to disguise their intentions."
It's the same as saying I won't to use Delphi or C++ or Lua or bat as they can be used to make viruses. What is posted above for Biab is a text file that you can read.
