Hi,
first full day of learning with this great software and I have hit a snag.
Suddenly I started getting warning dialogue boxes appearing saying that my drum kit didn't have a snare note assigned or a closed hi hat. they appear when I generate and also when I am closing the whole program.
I have tried different styles and also rebooting, but to no avail.
Any ideas please.
Cheers Steve

From Band in a Box FAQs page:
102. Error message: "Your current drum kit has no bass drum note assigned".
Symptoms
You get one of the following error messages when you try to play a song:
"Warning: Your current drum kit has no bass drum note assigned".
"Warning: Your current drum kit has no snare drum note assigned".
Solution
One possibility is that you have modified your drum kit, but you did not assign a MIDI note number to one or more of the drum sounds. Go to Opt. | Preferences | Drum Kit, and check to make sure that none of the drum sounds have been assigned to "0". For General MIDI drum kit definitions, the default note number for the Bass drums is 35, and the default note number for the Snare drums is 38. Assuming that you are not using a non-General MIDI synth, you can set the bass and snare drums to those values.
Another way to resolve the problem is to close Band-in-a-Box and delete the file MySetup.dk from your Band-in-a-Box folder (usually C:\bb). Note that this will return some settings back to factory defaults. See this FAQ topic for information on which settings are affected by this file. If you have previously modified/customized any of these settings, you should make a backup of your .dk file before deleting it.

Thanks so much, I deleted the file my setup and everything is working again. I am not sure what I clicked to make it happen in the first place, but a couple of minutes earlier the chord chart turned into a strange symbol thing with ~ over the letters and when I closed it it created an identically titled song but with the .MGU ending.
Still thanks for the prompt response, its a steep learning curve and it feels reassuring to know knowledgeable help is at hand.
Cheers Steve

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."
