Peter, I agree. Incidentally, are you looking for any new recruits for your development team? There does appear to be some very excellent potential close by.

Thanks guys for the feedback.
I got the 2009 or earlier worked out, just working out an ini file to store the BB version choice from the drop list and it will store the custom user actions buttons.
So there will be just one version to download hopefully.

Update 2.1f beta
Transpose Selection
Edit/Transpose Beat
All Biab versions in 1
32/64bit installer
settings.ini to easily add/modify your Custom User Actions

Biab Chord Picker Tool 2.1f beta 32/64bit installer
Biab Chord Picker Tool (x64)(x86) beta 2.1f setup.exe

Biab Chord Picker Tool 2.1f beta script only
Biab Chord Picker beta 2.1f.ahk.zip

The 2009-earlier should work on all versions as it uses the Chord Options dialog to edit the chords.
In the 2017 & 2018 version the set to Bass Drums Piano Guitar Strings shortcuts were left out, this prevents the Chord Picker Tool from working correctly using 2009 mode in 2017 & 2018, however PG should have a fix out soon for both 2017 & 2018 to add the shortcuts back.

When you start the new version for the first time you will be asked to set the version in the bottom left, you can then change versions at anytime to try what suites you best.

After the version is set you can then also edit the settings.ini located in the install folder.
This will let you easily add/modify the Custom User Actions keys in the User tab.
Here's an example of adding an Unfold action to CA11 (Custom Actions 1 button 1) it's a simple matter of filling in name=*** and funct=*** of the buttons you need.
Alt+E (Edit menu) Down 10 Right Down 5 and Enter
!E,{Down 10},{Right},{Down 5},{Enter}
** Save a copy of your settings.ini !!!
See Biab Chord Picker ReadMe.txt in the install folder for more details.

The ERROR are the blank actions not set yet.

Hello Pipeline,
I've just had a squiz at your wonderful offering. I have 2011 and have downloaded from the link you so generously supplied. Before I take it downstairs and have a go at installing the thing I thought I'd best ask...does it run well enough with XP? My DAW (Reaper) and BIAB computer is isolated from the net and all things too modern and runs happily on XP with all the old VSTs and so forth as well as an ancient version of Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.3 (I still have some old CW9 projects to export and rebuild in Reaper so have hung onto the prog).
Thanks in anticipation of an answer.


Cheers
rayc

Biab Plugin Chord Picker Tool Generic v1.1 for Most DAWs
This should work with most DAWs.

The 2 DAWs I found so far that don't send the keystrokes to the Biab Plugin window are BandLab and Cubase, so to fix this issue use
PluginFlipFlop if you already have JBridge.
Just load PluginFlipFlop (instrument of FX) then load the Biab Plugin (instrument of FX) into it.
Using PluginFlipFlop in Cubase will keep the VST window on top always.
If the Biab the BiabVST window don't stay on top use Always On Top 1.3
Let me know what works and what don't.
(the transport buttons up the top are not working)
(the ^ ^^ Pushes still need implementing in the Plugin)

Updated 1.1 > 1.2

Yea same deal as BandLab and Cubase.
Load PluginFlipFlop (FX or instrument) then load BBvst (FX or instrument) into it.
If the BiabVst don't stay on top use an Always On Top app like the one in the link Always On Top 1.3
Joao from JBridge is going to make it stay on top.

Now larger attachments are allowed I will upload the chord tools to the local PG storage so down the track they should still be here.
Just set your Win Explorer to show file extensions and remove the ".mp4"

In Windows 10 if you are running Band in a Box as Administrator you will need to run the Chord Picker Tool also as Administrator to have access.
