It would be really helpful to be able to make videos showing notation instead of chord charts. These could be used for live performance...imagine never losing your place again when reading dots!

Nice idea.

By the way, if you'd like a workaround to hold you over until this is (maybe) implemented in BIAB, try Open Broadcaster Software, also known as OBS. It's free and open source, and although it's intended for live-streaming your display on the internet, it's actually just as good at creating high-quality video and audio captures with really low file sizes.

I use it all the time to record stuff from Band in a Box and other notation programs so I can practice without having to open the software. I just keep a big folder full of practice video files.

The file format is .mp4 and you can specify audio and video encoding bitrate.

Here's an example of a Band in a Box capture that I made using OBS. The total file size for this video is a meager 5.9 megabytes!

I only recorded the chord view, but obviously you could use OBS to record the notation window as well.

I think the 'snag' is most likely potential copyrights issues (chord progressions are 'fair game' but melody is another matter), but I mentioned this concept to Master P.G. himself during the latest beta test phase, so they should at least be aware of the suggestion. It would indeed be nice to be able to see some more 'activity' in these videos, something akin to what they here at PG Music do themselves with most of their promotional videos cool
p.s. Thanks to the other poster for that software tip, I shall definitely have a closer look at that smile

Yes, and the Big Lyrics/Chord Window as well as having a "Scroll Ahead" Option for the Notation/Tab Window also.
