Fonts questions #282881 02/01/15 12:13 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP John-Luke Expert Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,323 France	In the chordsheet, I set a hold chord C... I choose Jazz Chords font. I get as final display : C (without any dot). If I choose Big band Chords - custom/normal/20, I get C and the 3 dots are set very low, like underline and remain in big size even if I reduce the font size from 20 to 10. Other fonts work OK. I have reinstalled the fonts and I run BIAB 2015 under Windows 8.1. Could anybody reproduce that ? Reach for excellence

A chart with periods after the chord name, or a caret, may mean something to us but not to a typical musician. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

If a hold or shot is added or even a single instrument, it still just shows the Chord only, e.g. "C..bd" just shows "C" Normally I would never use that font, but that's a good trick to know if one was printing a chord sheet for other players.

We have notified the developers so they can take a look and release a fix. Keep an eye on the website for build updates that address this issue." Reach for excellence
