Why Can't I See Highlighted Notes #148634 01/28/12 02:17 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

I can "see" the notes(the transcribed solo), but for some reason, as the song plays all I get is the individual "Bar Lines" of each bar being highlighted, but not the individual notes themselves! How can I rectify this problem?? Thanks Harpo It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!

So if you wanted to you could copy them to the melody track and then put the volume at 10 or something low and you should be able to hear them fine, even if they are on both tracks.

The problem is in the "Lead Sheet Window"! When I'm in the Lead Sheet Window (watching the Melody or the solo track) you're supposed to see note for note the notes that are being played in real time! Each note gets highlighted as they are played, whether it's the Melody track or the Soloist track (and I believe that goes for "any" other midi track as well!) This "Highlighting" feature doesn't respond on any of those tracks, whether they be midi solo tracks or RT solo tracks!! This is what I'm trying to correct! Understand?? Harpo It's not what you're "Playing", It's what you're "Saying"!

Use Opts Prefs Notation and click the box. Otherwise there may be an embedded volume control in the midi data hidden in the track that sets volumes to 0 and I suspect then they don't show up...get it? I just checked 3 songs on my system and all work as intended. I would also note that unless a RealTrack has an underline there is not notation for it. John Conley Musica est vita

One variation is to check "Fake Sheet Mode" at the top of the Lead Sheet Window. When I do this, active notes do NOT light up, but the active measures is bordered in red. So try clicking on the Mode box during playback button a few times and see what you see. Good luck. kelso Dell Desktop XPS 8100 W10 HomePrem/64 / Core i5 760 (quad, 2.8GHz) / 8GB DDR3 / 1 TB SATA / ViewSonic VG2428wm / EMU1616 PCI / Event ASP6 Active Monitors / BIAB 2019 64 bit (609) / Cakewalk

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.
