Are the important displays on BIAB 2026, such as chords, BPM, etc., too small? I think this is an important part of BIAB, but the display is especially small. Even making it a bit larger would be much more comfortable. Can it be adjusted manually? Where can I set the size? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32055&filename=2025-12-30_072525.jpg)

We'll add a setting to enable those features in the new Tracks window. Thanks Andrew, that is great news indeed.

Hi again, Janhardo. I'm glad that you got it sorted out. When you get the view that you like, don't forget to save it using "Save current view". This will make it easier to load next time  Also, when you have happy with the outcome, please click on "Resolved" in your initial post. This tells other users that the problem was solved. Happy New Year! --Noel

Nice group of BiaB session players and SUNO did you justice. We love the arrangement and the mix. The mellow vibe is well done and very engaging all through. Excellent! J&B

@Noel96 Thanks, for showing the extensive steps to get these screens, very helpful If i add now the chord screen and enlarge the bars in the track screen (make songview bigger) , then i can read the chord symbols there too in the track screen used in de chord screen So, this answers my question. The logics of the chord screen can be seen in the track ruler : the fakesheet song structure is translated to the trackview ruler with chords and bar numbers That is what i was looking for., hurray

Thank you, first of all, for showing the complete chord progression of the song. Can chords be entered in the tracks view or can that be combined with the chords view? It's possible to have both the chordsheet and the tracks showing as a multi-view. To do this follow the numbers on the image below. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32053&filename=chordsheet and tracks view (2) 2026.jpg)

Wouldn't it be useful to see all the chords used in the tracks view for BIAB ? Is there a setting for this? Entering chords there too in combination with the Chords window ?

Very witty, Floyd. I often wonder what people do with tattoos of old boy/girl friends. Loved the fact that you worked in the line about the yoga mat. The song makes me wanna dance. Love you voice, man. So good.

Hi, I recently upgraded from BIAB 2022 to 2026, both WIN. I found that songs created and played for years on v 2022 without any MIDI tracks have no lead-in count-in when loaded and played in v 2026. The song just jumps in on the first bar of the song. I have versions 2022 and 2026 running on separate screens simultaneously on the same computer and I have made as many of the preferences settings as exactly the same on 2026 as they are on 2022 with no success. MIDI settings, audio settings, synth settings, etc. are all the same on both. When I make an update of the settings on 2026 I close 2026 and re-start it and regenerate the song with no success. I can play the exact same song on 2022 and it immediately counts in. Then I'll try 2026 and there is no count-in. The song plays and sounds the same, the only difference is the lack of count-in. MIDI drivers, audio drivers are exactly the same, same computer, same sound card (Soundblaster Audigy FX), no changes. The only change is the full fresh installation of v 2026 on a separate HD from 2022 with all 2026 files pointed to the HD location of 2026 (i:\bb) , not the 2022 directories (f:\bb) so there shouldn't be an issue of cross contamination. The only files that are common is the actual song file itself that is loaded directly from a common folder and played on both v 2022 and 2026. I have reset the version 2026 back to the "factory settings" with no success. I'm tempted to copy the preferences file from 2022 over to the 2026 folder, but I'm concerned that would screw things up beyond repair. I thought that perhaps the count-in relied on a MIDI drum, but I opened the song demo _ACCNTRY demo (all realtracks) and the count-in played successfully from the realtrack drum in the file, and I could see the count-in in the tracks window. When I open the song that I have been experimenting with that I had been using from 2022 in the tracks window of 2026 I can see the empty measure where the count-in should be at the beginning of the song, but no count-in beats on any of the realtracks, yet it plays the count-in just fine on 2022, but not on 2026. No doubt I'm overlooking or missing some setting or something simple, but I'm at a brick wall after many hours of beating my head against that wall. Does anyone have any thoughts of what the problem might be? Thanks in advance. Update: I just now installed and ran the new build and that did not solve the problem.

Hey Torrey, Laurent nailed the parallels; I might add Styx. Great classic sound. Catchy chorus. As for the few and far between, better to put out something this good than a so-so a day.

Damn. I have no words but I'll try and summon some. This is an exquisite production from lyrics, to melody, to instrumentation to stellar vocals. So moving. You took pain and turned it into beautiful art. Best of all, you shared it with us.

Love it, Scott. Love that bass-y piano and then the pluckiness that comes in. It's ethereal but also very grounded, rich and melodious. Could imagine Bowie singing it, but your voice sounds most excellent.

ShawnR, Are you familiar with Ctrl+F8 method at Track View? Hello Rustyspoon, I'm assuming you are suggesting Ctrl+F8 within Tracks View as an alternative to using the MultiRiff feature and I agree that this is a quick method to partially regenerate RTs from the Tracks View. Thanks for pointing this out. However, just to be clear, this doesn't address the missing functionality that the 'Edit Phrases and Loops' feature uniquely provides. In the scenario that I and others have described in posts above, I have already painstakingly pieced together - perhaps measure-by-measure - what I believe to be the perfect RT solo. Unfortunately, my "manual", measure-by-measure concatenation process has resulted in a short, but annoying, audio artifact at the "seam" between two riffs. Again, I already have the perfect riff in place, so I don't want to regenerate; I just want to edit out the artifact and perhaps extend the previous riff as needed. Tracks View with the 'Edit Phrases and Loops' functionality gives me an easy, visual method to do this quickly within the same Tracks View. Regards, Shawn

Summary of what I believe people are saying: Shawn and Lee, are saying regenerating partial gens create artifacts at the beginning or the end that they want to easily remove. Rusty, is just letting you know about partial gens and they uses it a lot. Andrew, I'm not sure what feature he's going to enable. Does he mean put back the 2025 secondary edit view in Track view? I agree that that basic edits should be doable inside the track view. However the awkward secondary loop view was unorthodox. I much prefer a right mouse context menu to cut or reduce volume in a highlighted section would be more main stream. This makes it a similar workflow to the Partial Gen.
