Our new guitar player needs lead sheets to all our tunes, and I don't want to print out 80 some songs... what I want is what I see when I print preview a BIAB song - simply the chords and the full arrangement. Thanks.

Once installed, you select this instead of your regular printer, and it saves what would have been printed as as a PDF file instead. There are other utilities too. Plus, if you have BIAB version 2014, I believe a new equivalent printer utility comes with it. BIAB also can print your score as a JPG image. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

Did you run Setup and install BIAB? BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

I often use CutePDF on various machines also, but the included one might be worth trying (under Print options also).

But any of these printer utilities will print "boxes" or other gibberish if the half-dozen or so PG Music fonts are not installed on the computer. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.
