If #6 is no problem for me, then it's your PC that's inadequate, not BIAB. I don't have a huge screen. My laptop is only 15.5". The specs are below. Ray

Hi Ray I always appreciate and respect your input. A 15.5" laptop is actually a fair size display. I'm also interested in the screen resolution you use (not shown in your specs).

Agreed, #6 is not a problem, however the window is NOT sizable.
My DAW is 1920 x 1200 (26 inches), I can see the whole picker window, but If I size it down, it does hide content and does not provide a scroll bar to see the hidden content.
It worked up until 2013. It has not worked since the introduction of 2014. A nasty bug if you use the TC Helicon in live performance without remembering to manually check this every time the program is opened.
Thanks for this catch. I was very surprised since in years past this was a big feature for me and it used to keep the setting.
Regarding the entire contents of this thread. This is much the reason I am keeping my wallet in my pocket this year. Not the only reason, but a main one.
+1 for #19 "we really don't need that enormous mixer right there all the time!" I suggest an option for just the transport window with options to select, start & stop a song.
"but If I size it down, it does hind content and does not provide a scroll bar to see the hidden content"
Sadly a lot of my content is HIND content!

and the scroll between chords pages itself (when the cursor reaches the last chord of the page) is just too abrupt
If you're playing live, unless you've memorized the progression, you'll not see the next set of chords until the first chord of the next page has already played.
Simply showing the next set of four chords (below the current row) would be an excellent fix.
Thanks!

Please make it possible to loop a section simply by clicking the loop button - another thing that does not do what it says on the tin. I don't see the need for all the two click clutter
40(-ish): Notation jumps all over the place when editing
Sometimes, when editing a note, and selecting Cancel, the song cursor position jumps to a different bar, not within the current 'view'.
It happens when the scroll bar at bottom has been used to navigate to the bar to be edited. After editing, sometimes the song jumps to the end, sometime to the start, sometimes to the adjacent bars.
Steps to reproduce: 1: Place a MST in the bass part 2: In Notation Window, select Bass 3: Use the cursor slider arrow (A) to locate a bar in the middle of the song (this is the key point) 4: Edit a note, and select OK or Cancel (B) 5: Song jumps to a completely different bar (Now, what was the other note in the bar that I needed to change???) Dang! What was the bar?
To make this more infuriating, I identified and reported this to PGM Support in December 2013, who confirmed and acknowledged the problem existed and said they would report it.
A year later, I've purchased the full set of upgrades, and these bugs haven't even been looked at. Why go to all the trouble to identify and report problems, prepare screen captures and identify steps to reproduce? They don't seem to even get attended to. Getting annoyed...

Trevor, just a quick question. Is bar 70 within a Tag?
Hi Matt Thanks for the question. No I don't believe it's in a Tag. It actually doesn't seem to matter what the song length is or if there is a Tag.
I just tried the following steps:
- Open the program, by default it will have 32 bars with 3 Choruses - Create some notation on one of the tracks (I just chose to create a MST on the Bass, just to get some notes) - Generate the song - In the Notation Editor Window, enable Edit - Scroll the horizontal scroll bar to any bar. - Edit a note (Cancel or OK) - Song now jumps to the Start, sometimes the End, Sometimes somewhere else. It should stay where the user selected.
(Best wishes for the season) Trevor

ChadL, go to Notation mode - Opt - Drop down menu to have no bars ahead, one bar ahead or 2 bars ahead. When the cursor hits the 4th bar,two new bars will show on the left, when the 4th barplays two more bars will fill up the line. Clear as mud, right? Look up "scroll ahead option" in the manual. Ray

I have been trying all day to copy and paste some bars, but BIAB keeps crashing - it simply dissappears (win7 64.
Basically I have a chord sequence of eight bars, I want to take it through some cycles, so I copy and paste it, then transpose it. I seem to be able to get to about five copies, but I want 12 in all, one for each key. If I go above about five sets of eight bars, the program just goes poof and dissappears when I press play.
Reloading does nothing it simply repeats the problem
Since last update (414), Asio4All support has gone absolutely unusable.
Choosing this audio Driver from BIAB just crashes the program.
This means that I just can't use any recording functions within BIAB (wich I used to do as a practice routine)
Return to factory settings is not solving the problem.
Asio4All works flawlessly with any other audio program I have.
Really frustrating...
Yes, I've noticed that ASIO4ALL now sometimes delivers significant static. To fix, just go to ASIO Drivers panel, change quality from Good to Good (essentially do nothing), then the audio quality is OK again (static is gone).
Never used to do this...
