takes to long to explain, but just to say that I had added a section letter , had to move it because it conflicted with the chord, and that it does not show up in the print or in the regular view mode for the score. Better explained here:

Section Letters in BiaB are not too difficult. Once you get the feel, you'll be able to punch them in anywhere, very fast and with acceptable accuracy. In the Editable Nortation mode, your cursor marks the lower left corner of the imaginary rectangle where the number will appear. (Well...sorta. They do seem to have a little will of their own sometimes.) But it's quite easy to put them between chords, not impossible to set them at chord height, and inevitable to get them into the right measure.

Editing them, once they're placed, is a lame 1983-era mess of abstraction and indirection -- and yes, they do sometimes disappear spontaneously when moved. It's best just to erase an incorrect one and do it again from the beginning.

If a "lost" one is not showing up anywhere, forget about it and put in a proper one. Occasionally I have found a "missing" letter got shoved out into measure 2016 or somewhere bizarre, by a typo. If you get that, you may find it in the Lyrics Event List, and kill it.

Charles, your finding may be duplicated here -> this is a weird one. Tinkering with this issue, I found entering another section letter some bars later on in the song makes your troublesome section letter appear again in printouts. Entering some other section letter a few bars earlier in the song does not make your section letter reappear.

There's sure some mischief deserving attention by the program makers ...

What you are finding is all true, Martin. But to get some predictable use out of even these buggy features is not hard.

(1) Just don't edit things -- erase erroneous entries and replace them with correct ones.

And (2) don't place any text events close together.

Section Text is cool, too. It has the advantage of matching the current text font (if you have changed it for nicer appearance). Its disadvantage is that it takes a couple more clicks. But it's not as if a guy uses all that many of these marks in a leadsheet.

Did you find the provision for making it boxed?
