I'm using Band-in-a-Box® for Windows Version 2016 (438)

when I create even a simple repeat during playback when it goes to the repeat it stays on the same chord as the last chord of the measure before the repeat even though the cursor movement follows the chord changes through the measures of the repeat.

I don't know if this happens on every style or not, or if it's only certain styles. it doesn't happen every time, but maybe 50% of the time I've tried to use the repeats.

is there something I'm doing wrong?

Beagle,

Have you checked out the 5:45 video clip in the 'Intermediate' section of the following collection of videos?

It would be worth working through this if you haven't.

Are you ceating repeats using the 'chorus ' repeat from the main screen, or from the repeats / endings dialogue?

I never use the repeats or the musical sign posts, I always unfold it to one big chorus, but hey.... I hope you figure this out.

BTW: It's good to see your fuzzy face over here again.

For all the folks here.... it was this guy, many years ago in the Sonar forums who was talking about this thing called "Band in a Box" which he was using to do his drum tracks and more... and I asked about it, and he told me.

thank you, Noel! I watched this video on your suggestion and when I unchecked "FAKESHEET MODE" to see the hidden bars they were empty. that solved the issue.

Hey Herb! I haven't hung around here much lately but I still use BIAB a lot! I've been using it a lot more lately to generate backing tracks for me to play and sing along with as I lead at church when I don't have a pianist on Wednesday nights now!

I didn't use to use the repeats before either, I used to make one big sheet all the time, but when they work, they help a lot when I'm just typing in stuff from sheet music anyway.

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.

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."
