I have a BB file that is a medley of three tunes and it changes about through the 120 bars. My prob is i forget where i am when playing to it. is it possible to add a note to say bar 37 saying say "sorry suzanne" and then a different note someplace else to cue up what comes next and so on so that it nudges me?

I would use the TEXT function. You can place a piece of text in your song anyehere, above the staff, beloe it, or even on it. It cab be 'boxed' or left clear. It doesn't even need to be at the beginning of a bar. And as it is an event, it stays with the bar if you chane the order of the medley.
There may be other options, but this is my method.

Hi. There are no lyrics because this ones a piano piece and the tune swaps about three different melodies. Im reading the chords off the main screen,I dont read music. So are you saying I can add a LYRIC to the main screen except that this lyric is simply a memo to me when and where to change. I guess if i play it often enough i'll get to remember it but it would bea real help. Whats the process for adding a lyric to a specific bar please? WendyM

Not sure if you ever got an answer to how to enter text or figured it out on your own...
From the VIEW toolbar, click on CHORD DISPLAY to select and open a drop down menu.
Select the first option: Layers
Select: Section Text - Alternately, you can also select Bar Lyrics
Your song can contain both Song Lyrics and Text remarks. -----
Once you have completed these steps, you should see a new lightly colored section appear at the top of each measure's chord cell. Enter text in these sections.
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."
