Stop autoscroll while playing back #259874 08/18/14 01:29 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

Look at Opt., Preferences, Notation. Eight lines down from the upper left (in BIAB 2014, at least) is "Scroll Ahead", which you can set to two bars (default), one or zero. Or if you mean, scrolling from one screen with part of the song to the next part with the next part of the song, I don't think you can control the scrolling, but you can make more rows display on the screen, thus avoiding the scrolling. In that same menu, adjust "Bars per Screen". Then in the Preferences, Display, uncheck "Auto Adjust Row" and set a fixed number. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

BIAB does not create accompaniments on the fly. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Even though I know they won't change the music 'till the next song regeneration, it would save me a lot of time. The problem arises when I scroll down further and I'm entering chords. The playhead advances, then the display gets scrolled up to the currently playing bar. That behavior drives me nuts. Any other settings that might help?

I often will make changes as I see things that need changing in the song... Yes, you must restart to make the changes active in the song. IMHO, the best way is to simply stop the playback, make the changes, and then preview them to be sure they're correct.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
