I recently upgraded to version 2014 for windows.
During playback of a song, when the progress cursor reaches the bottom of the chordsheet the cursor disappears and the chordsheet freezes while the band plays on.
The chordsheet does not scroll to show the rest of the song. If you did not know the next series of chords, you would be out of luck. This happens in full screen and normal mode.
I have used BAIB since Version7 and never had this problem.
Thank you for helping me figure out what I may doing wrong.

Hi Allame,

A couple of questions ...

1. Do you use a single monitor?

2. Have you updated to the latest build of BIAB? We're up to #380 now. (You can find this under "Help | About Band In A Box"

3. What is your operating system (e.g. Win 7, 64 bit)?

4. Are you using repeat or tags?

5. If you are using loops (e.g. the BIAB default of 3 times through), does it scroll the first time and not the other times?

Answering these questions will help us get a little more insight into your system and thus facilitate problem solving.

Kind regards,
Noel

Try running the program in a window (rather than full screen) sized to show the entire BIAB program window and see what you get. Also try setting the number of rows displayed in the chord sheet to a higher value, and while you are at it try changing the font for the chord sheet. Be sure you are using the latest drivers for your video card. Finally there is the old tried and true return to factory settings and/or a reboot of the computer.
Good luck.

Hi Noel 96 and BarryKJ,
Thanks for your feedback.
After several minutes of frustration, I resorted to "the old tried and true".
Everything now seems to be working like it should.
I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my inquiry.

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."
