I want to print a Lead Sheet with a new line at each Part Marker.

In BIAB 2014/381, I go: Lead Sheet -> Opt -> Notation Options -> 'New Line each' and 'part marker' from the dropdown.

Help for 'New Line each' says: "It applies to the Lead Sheet notation screen and to printing"

But I find the Lead Sheet still displays and prints as continuous bars, with no new line at each part-marker.

Is this a bug or have I missed something?

Thanks to All - Best - Andy

I've never been able to get this to work. I look forward to anybody responding with the secret to this feature.

Three places to check for "new line each part marker". Pref-display, pref-notation and Song Settings. I spent a lot of time trying to figure how to get rid of this feature! Later, Ray

PS: A few years ago I think I was able to print with the "new line each part marker". Can't do it now. Maybe something has changed over the years.

Andy:

The only way I've been able to get this to work is through "Fake Sheet Mode".
You said

"In BIAB 2014/381, I go: Lead Sheet -> Opt -> Notation Options -> 'New Line each' and 'part marker' from the dropdown."

- When you get to the Lead Sheet window, click on "Fake Sheet Mode" at the top (perhaps yours is already set to this)

- Then click on Opt. If Fake Sheet Mode has been enabled, the check box for it will be available in the bottom left corner. If it's greyed out, go back to the Lead Sheet window and enable it.

- The way to get the printout to show a new line at every marker, can be controlled by the box that says "Fakesheet bars/line".

- Say you have a 3 bar intro, then a part maker, then a 9 bar verse.
In the bar/line box, type "3,4,5,4" (assuming you want all the other lines to be 4 bars, and omit the quotes)

- Then OK > Print > OK Preview Graphics

- Now the lead sheet should show a new line for each part maker. If not, just keep experimenting with the bars/line numbers until it works.

Good luck!

Thanks guys!

Raymb1: Pref-display & Song-setting/new line only affects the chord-sheet display I think. They work fine.

Lloyd: Fantastic! I just tried your work-around for a 54-bar song, and it works!

It's a hassle, and I could wish "Notation Options -> 'New Line each part marker' worked as it should, but I'm so grateful for your tip.

Rachael: Try Lloyd's trick. Put the no of bars you want per line, separated by commas, in Lead-sheet-Opt-Fakesheet bars/line, and see if you can make that work.

Thanks to All - Best - Andy

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."
