An update is available for Band-in-a-Box® Version 2016

Download the Band-in-a-Box 2016 Build 127 update


Summary of changes since Build 120 (May 11, 2016):

  • Added: Save Song as MusicXML feature added.
  • Fixed: StylePicker would crash if there were zero styles to display.
  • Fixed: Splash screen background was white instead transparent.
  • Fixed: Right-clicking on Master radio control would show a popup menu for the wrong track (for which ever radio control was selected previously).
  • Fixed: Edit | Lyrics | Copy Lyrics to Clipboard did not do anything. This was previously for line-based lyrics, but now it opens a dialog with options for bar-based lyrics, note-based lyrics, and chords.
  • Fixed: Edit | Lyrics | Move Lyrics Up/Down Row(s) to Clipboard did not do anything. This was previously for line-based lyrics, but now it works with bar-based lyrics.

  • Fixed: Crash on bootup (eg. crash reports regarding "ADDMENUITEM").
  • Fixed: Crash on bootup when mouse wheel is used before chord sheet appears.
  • Fixed: When Band-in-a-Box is not the active application, and there is a modal dialog open, clicking on the chord sheet to bring focus back to Band-in-a-Box would cause bar highlighting to begin.
  • Fixed: Settings for hints ("Show Help Tags", "Dialog Help Tags", and "Display Delay") were not applying to hints in some dialogs such as the new StylePicker or Display Options.
  • Fixed: Clicking on the Master radio control resets all panning and reverb on the mixer.
  • Fixed: Control+Click on the number next to "ALL SONGS" in the mixer would cause Band-in-a-Box to crash.
  • Fixed: Control+Click on the number next to "THIS SONG" in the mixer would cause strange behaviour with all of the panning controls.
  • Fixed: Number-pad number keys did not work for chord entry.
  • Fixed: Typing "style" into chord sheet opens a text edit box which a style name can be typed into, but the style is never found.
  • Fixed: Typing "song" into chord sheet opens a text edit box which a song name can be typed into, but the song is never found.
  • Fixed: Switching to DAW mode would not resize the Audio Edit window.

  • Changed: Edit | Lyrics | "Blank Lyrics" changed to "Erase Bar-Based Lyrics".
  • Fixed: Editing lyrics or section text in layers was not undoable.
  • Fixed: Edit | Insert Measures would not shift bar lyrics or section text.
  • Fixed: Edit | Delete Measures would not shift bar lyrics or section text.
  • Fixed: Edit | Delete Measures would not shift repeats.
  • Fixed: Clicking or double-clicking on a text layer to start editing would not place the cursor where the mouse clicked.
  • Fixed: Some messages referred to the program "Notepad", but should say "TextEdit".
  • Fixed: In the Overrides dialog, "Allow loading of any these settings" should say "Allow loading any of these settings".
  • Fixed: The settings in the Overrides dialog would not be saved unless "Allow loading any of these settings" was not checked.
  • Changed: The settings for importing line based lyrics were moved out of the "Allow Songs to load settings for:" section in the Overrides dialog.
  • Added: More specific errors added to the Repeats dialog. If user is trying to add a second "Fine" type of repeat, they will get either error "Cannot have 2 Fine types. DC al Coda suggested." or "Cannot have 2 Fine types. DS al Coda suggested."
  • Fixed: "DC al" on the chord sheet instead of "DS al" for a DS al Coda repeat.
  • Fixed: "DC al Fine" on the chord sheet instead of "DS al Fine" for a DS al Fine repeat.
  • Fixed: Some repeats were not allowed that should be, and showed the error "Error: Repeat conflicts with another repeat in the song.". Eg. a basic repeat should be allowed to overlap with a DC al Coda.
  • Fixed: "Delete all repeats" was not undoable.
  • Fixed: If opening the Repeats dialog, and clicking Close without creating a new repeat, there would be an option to "Undo Insert Repeat/Ending".
  • Fixed: When playback starts from beginning of song, the chord sheet would not automatically scroll up to show bar 1.
  • Fixed: Entering chords into the chord sheet was not undoable.
  • Fixed: Deleting chords from the chord sheet was not undoable.

  • Fixed: 'MIDI QWERTY Keyboard Wizard' feature was not working.
  • Fixed: Some new menu items did not have hints.

  • Fixed: Track names and/or patch names did not always show up on lead sheet and/or printout.
