The chord sheet has to be unfolded in the Biab Plugin so it is a linear progression. It is then saved and loaded again. The first time run will ask for the Band in a Box application folder location eg. C:\bb right click Save Link/Target As ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua Reaper > Actions > Show action list > ReaScript > Load > ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua after it has been unfolded, Saved and reloaded Run > ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua File > Project settings > Project start measure > -1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pup364svAo Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool
