Have received my 2014 Everything UpgradePAK.

1) Can still not use Print to PDF function
2) Like the new looks, but very little space is left to display e.g. the melody. The Song button is higher than most actual song titles will require
3) Can still not enter slash chord directly into the chord sheet window
4) Where can I change the patched of the various instruments (except in the Save Song window)?
5) Where can I unloop a song?

Hi Tonnie. The new interface is, well, new and takes a little getting used to.

1. You have to install a PDF printer separately, either the one that PG Music supplies, or another such as Cute PDF that I use

2. True. Update to build 380. Use Ctrl+T to toggle to a full display of the song. We think further improvements are being considered.

3. Regular slash for the bass root works for me. Please elaborate?

4. In the mixer, but they are working on the higher banks.

5. It's in the Loop button now.

Thanks Trevor for clarifying. Tonnie hasn't posted much but he knows his way around. It's just that first look at the new interface that we all need to get past. I really like the new direction, and the small hindrances here and there are getting worked out.

I Agree
I've forgotten a lot of what the old one looked like already!

I have it easy. I just started using BiaB so the interface looks normal to me! Lov'en it!

Matt,

When I want to enter a slash (/) chord while in the Chord Sheet Window, e.g. C7/E, nothing happens. It is the same whether I enter C77e, C77E, C7/e or C7/E. As soon as I press enter or one of the other “transportation arrow”, like” ”, the curser just moves to the next position (2 beats further on). There is no error message like “Chord entered incorrectly”.

When I use the Chord Options window I can write C7/e or C7/E and it will result in the desired slash chord entry. If I use C77e or C77E there is an error message; “Chord entered incorrectly”.

Also I think I remember that entering “3” would (in the correct sequence) result in a “#”. So I entering “7” should result in a “/”.
Hope you understand my tiny problem.

Tonnie

Thanks, that's clear. In your other thread, Peter thinks your problem is related to your keyboard, and what the / maps to. Probably the same with the #.

If these used to work in an earlier version on your keyboard, you should contact Support to discuss what they changed.

Hello Tonnie, I can see you are in Norway, I’m in Sweden.
Maybe there is a Scandinavian sort of keyboard, for I can’t type “7” for a slash chord.
But if I use the key “ ’ ” (eg. like in I’m) I get a slash sign.
On my keyboard that key is placed to the right of the letter Ä.

Hi Person,

Using a USA layout keyboard, typing a '3' does indeed produce a sharp. This was recently modified so that typing a '3' using a UK keyboard layout also produces a # (it never used to). These are shortcuts.

As far as I know, there has never been a similar shortcut for the forward slash. On all the US-based keyboards that I've had, '/' is usually somewhere near the 'Enter' and right 'Shift' keys.

Hope this helps,
Noel
