Then it jumps back to bar 17 after the ending has finished. This means that empty bars are displayed instead of the chord. Same behaviour in main display and "save to video" This ruins the video file, and I've tried everything to fix it. Thanks! Link to YouTube timestamp

To be honest, rather than spending time trying to solve the problem, I'd simply start a new file ("File \| New" -- this makes sure that the chordsheet is reset to default settings) and enter the chords again as there are only 17 chords. While it's great to solve issues, sometimes as a BIAB user, I find it quicker, and makes better use of my time, to start over than it is to track down a problem. If you have the Windows version of BIAB, you could try opening the BIAB SGU in Realband. Then save it using Realband as an SGU file with a new name. Now open that newly named file in BIAB. This 'trick' with Realband has been known to solve unusual problems like yours. Regards, Noel a co-write with J&B: Deciduous Love (with a twist of Tin Pan Alley) MY SONGS...

Perhaps I messed something up and corrupted the song. You're right it might be better to start over from scratch. I'll send the song file to Kent anyway, he might spot what I've done wrong, or perhaps it's a bug.
