After a search back over the past two years of posts regarding the entry of lyrics into BIAB, I'd characterize what I found as a "crying out" of the forum community for an "ease of entry" of lyrics in with our many BIAB (and RB and PT) songs.

I'm sitting here with all my lyrics in text form (mostly in Word after being dragged and dropped from other sources). So many of us (based on what I found from the forums search) have already said a number of times some variation of the following: there appears to be plenty "screen real estate" to permit one dropping lyrics in text form onto a set-aside, wrap-around line resident on the chord window....and whereby one then simply pushes the words to the right location with the space bar (with wrap-around being permitted --- one line of words per one line of chords). With an option of picking a font size, there is no doubt that I could have all the words in their right place very quickly for a given song.

Can you imagine, every time one loads in a song, there sit the words in the right place ON THE SAME SCREEN.....i.e., we don't won't to piddle with having to pull-up and re-size two screens....they should be together on one screen.

I propose we start a "user-friendly" campaign for such....actually I'm on my knees as I type this so I guess I'm personally begging for such and I'm unashamed to admit it.

This must be somewhat of a nightmare to do programming-wise because, otherwise, I suspect PGMusic would have already done it long before now......BUT NOW'S THE TIME!!

Are you a +1 or -1 on this? Here the +1 means to please do so ASAP!!

Cecil

P.S. I'll admit that I'm probably overlooking some important gotcha "stuff" here!! Point those out too if you don't mind.

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."
