I would to see an updated GUI interface that is a little less cluttered with icons (to allow for more screen space) and a little more professional looking, i.e. Logic, Cubase, etc. I would also like to see a feature where the program will reload the last song when starting (at your option) that you were working on when you quit.

Already exists. Go to Prefs. Near bottom left is a combo box with title 'At program bootup...'. Select 'Open previous song'.

I would like to be able to customize the toolbar menus (a la Win XP and MS office and forward) to hide or gray out functions that I will never use and bring those I use most frequently to the top.

Just click on the little trianglesat the far right of the toolbars. You can hide any functions you don't use. Later, Ray

Wups. I misstated. I meant the dropdown menus. I knew you could do that with the icons (even with my ancient copy of 2009.5). Thanks for the wakeup call.

Guitarman, As Raymb1 has said above, it's possible to add/remove icons that you don't need. One other thing that I do is to change the number of lines on the chord sheet from "Auto" to "26". This displays much more on the screen (Opts | Preferences | Display) and it suits me much better. Please see the image below to see what I mean. Personally, I really like the GUI. The many aspects of music make it an extremely complicated process and many menus and submenus are required if one wants to cover music for all kinds of musicians (not just piano and guitar and not just playback and record). To my way of thinking, things could become extremely difficult to find if too many levels of menu bury the mountain of options. I find that there is too much to remember in this program and thus periodically, I know that I can do something but, because I've forgotten it, I need to read through each item on the drop down menus. I find that being able to do this makes it very easy to locate processes. The present GUI suits me very well. These days we have the ability to save our preferences. I always do that. Sometimes, though, I need to reset to factory settings and thus have to re-organize my display. It usually only takes 10 minutes. Kind regards, Noel

I'd like the option to have more bars per row. I put it on the wish list years ago but to no avail. It would be so useful, but I can only assume that's in the 'too hard box' prohramming-wise.

+1 Eight chords to the bar is more important to me than anything mentioned. Later, Ray

A BIG +1 for eight chords to the bar. 16 would be better

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."
