OK I got it now.
You are correct, you can not copy a text and paste it into the chord chart.
Good idea, +1

+1 for copying chord from text outside BiaB then pasting into BiaB.
John, John, John your response to Mario clarified your request.

I'm sorry, but I will point out the irony here in the given example: entering a sharp is case insensitive in BIAB. You CAN type F#maj9311 and it WILL enter as F#maj9#11.
But I finally understand the request: to be able to paste text from elsewhere into the chordsheet grid. +1.

The example is really not the point. Let's change the example to... I type f3maj8311 and BIAB just quietly ignores what I typed! So, just in case PG is following this, final point is, 1) we should be able to paste text into the chord entry window 2) while typing in the chord entry window (or after pasting) we should be able to edit what we have typed (or pasted)

In fact, let's add a #3 that should be falling off a log easy...
3) I should be able to click any chord and edit it without having to retype it completely!

John, It is possible to paste chords from a word processor. It uses the CTRL+F2 function. Here's what I did... 1. Opened Notepad and typed a chord. I went for G7aug. 2. Selected the chord and used CTRL+C to copy it. 3. Clicked on the bar in the chord sheet where I wanted to enter the chord. 4. Hit CTRL+F2 (this is the shortcut of right-clicking on the bar and selecting "Edit Chord"). 5. Used CTRL+V to paste the chord. 6. Hit enter. The chord that was copied from Notepad showed up as G7+. Maybe this will help do what you are after. Regards, Noel

Thanx Noel, I would never had thought of that myself.
I learn something from every one of your posts! You should write a Band-in-a-Box for Dummies book!

"You should write a Band-in-a-Box for Dummies book!"
+1
I agree. I very often use the Email Post from Noel's suggestions. I esp. love it when images are included, makes it so crystal clear.
I no longer use the "Help" menu in BIAB, so outdated and confusing, search for "one" item and you get "60 ++".
I started using the "Email Post" and made them my new Help.

In the interim, something you might want to try is to press Alt-F5 and enter the chord there from what you copied to the paste buffer (haven't tried this, as I'm not at my music machine right now, but would think this would work). Additionally, have you tried clicking or double clicking on the little chord entry box (where the text appears when you type in a chord) and see if you can do it there?
Just a few thoughts.

Hi John, I didn't think to try pasting text into the chord setting window (ALT+F5). I just tried it then and that works too. Well caught! The chord entry box doesn't seem to work the same way. As I see it, the main difference between CTRL+F2 and ALT+F5 is that one works directly on the chord sheet and the other achieves the same effect via a window. Regards, Noel

I really appreciate the great solutions everyone!
BUT, to PG, I still should be able to do a simple paste and copy and editing of the little chord entry window! So please keep this alive as a wish!

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."
