I would love to be able to input the music through my MIDI compatible keyboard and have BIAB do the notation with the right timing for each note, (i.e. if I hold the key for 2 beats, it produces a half-note). I have found a couple of programs that can do this, but I don't like much else about the programs and they are expensive. They tend to be MIDI driven, so the audio is not so good. I still prefer to use BIAB and PowerTracks for my audio. I would just like to have the standard notation for the songs I write. I have Guitar Pro 5, but it's painful note by note, rest by rest. I can't write music (notation), so I have to do it by ear.

I recently purchased B-in-a-B for Windows version 2008.5 and it's nothing short of a revelation after my version # 5 for Atari, purchased many years ago. Version 5 has served me very well however and was a fantastic program when I first got it. Version 2008.5 is also an amazing program. My only disappointment is the notation feature. I find the editable, manual entry method to be frustrating and very slow. In fact, it irritates me so much that I've stopped using it!
I realise that this entry system was designed for use by persons with little or no notational ability, but it would be really great if a "Finale" or "Sibelius" type option could be incorporated in the program for those with notational ability and/or experience with either of these two programs. At the very least, it would be helpful if some of the editable entry features could be turned off and note and rest options were incorporated. (I've used "Finale" for about eight years and I suspect I've been spoilt!)
I would be interested to hear what other users think.

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

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."
