Sometimes as I go along singing or playing I don't realize that the part is only an instrumental passage. I cant figure out the Multistyles thing but it appears the 4 colors will only appear on some styles not all styles so don't think that is what I want. Is there any way for me to change the color of the chord notation to something other than black so that I can indicate the beginning of an 8 bar instrumental with say the first chord or all 8 chords being in orange or some other color. Or maybe the color of the background bar could be changed. Or? Thanks Bill Mollenhauer

That will work but I would have preferred something with color. Anyway is there any way to change the font in the section letter box. That Comic Sans font or whatever is really hard to read. Thanks Bill Mollenhauer

I'll put it there. [Comic Sans does come in for a lot of flack. I don't know what the default font here actually is, though.] BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

The only variation I could get was if a part marker was included with the bar-based section letter, then there was an inversed font color (white).

The dialog box ask where to put the text vertically on the staff and whether you want it in a box - so it's not confused with other information. You can also move it horizontally by selecting the note in the bar. It's been around a long time, and I think its now tied in with section text of bar lyrics. I use it all the time especially with fake sheet. My text typically says something like 'instrumental v2' or 'vocal pickup' even 'slow to end' You just need enough to remind you BIAB for Windows Version 2019 (643) Windows 10 (1909)
