Hello rayjbee, and welcome!

To enter 4 chords in a bar, you use a comma to separate chord 1/2 and 3/4. For example:

G,C RETURN D,G RETURN

If you want a chord on beat 2 and 4 (not 1 and 3), it would be entered like this:

,C RETURN ,G RETURN

Rests, Shots, Holds, Pushes

A rest is entered with a period C.
A shot is entered with two periods C..
A hold is entered with three periods C...
A 1/8th push is entered ^ (^C)
A 1/16th push is entered ^^ (^^C)

The Chord Settings dialog is opened by right clicking (or CNTRL+click) in a measure of the Chord Sheet. You can also press Option+Z.

In Band-in-a-Box for Mac you can go to Help | View Full Band-in-a-Box Manual to open the PDF manual.

The "Entering Chords" section is a great place to start!

Hope this helps smile

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.
