Wendy,

That's not possible in the standard view mode.

Press CTRL+T to change to full screen view and there's a little more control. It's possible to use the Custom view to list only those shortcuts you want.

Regards,
Noel

Wendy, you're very close. I love the Custom toolbar. Look for the tiny + (plus sign) on the far right. It opens up all the available choices. As it prompts, just hold down CTRL and drag the icons you want into the Custom toolbar.

TIP: My favorite buttons are Save As, because it gets you to the options easier, and Notation, because it toggles between the Chordsheet Mode and the Notation Mode. If it helps, here are the ones I have in Custom:

Notation, New, Open, Save, Save As, MIDI, Print, Settings, Prefs, Form, Freeze. With just these, I can do almost everything I need. Of course, it's called Custom because everyone's needs and preferred method of working will differ.

Hi Wendy,

I'd had the same thing happen to me, and then I installed the Build 470 patch and it solved this issue. You can download this free patch update here: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#470

Hi Callie. I was on 467 because of the trouble there seemed to be with the 468/469 thing. I have updated now to the 470 like you saud but it has made NO DIFFERENCE. I still get a blnak space for Custom. All the individual toobars are populated OK but none of them seem to be available with the Custom view to drag in.

Just to be clear, you don’t drag a toolbar, you drag individual icons to populate your Custom toolbar. Do you see the plus sign on the far right? If so, what happens when you click it?

Try resetting the factory defaults after you completed the update.

Wendy, FWIW I get the same thing. It's something to do, I am sure, with the Update from 462 to 470.
If I return BB to the old Build 462, the "Custom" tab works perfectly correctly and I can drag and drop from the full list of buttons that drops down. If I then come back to the latest 470, the "Custom" drop down is Empty.
I'm going to drop a note to Support.

When you Return to Factory Settings, you have choices. You can save your settings first, and you can reset everything, or everything except the drivers.

Ok. I've done a reset and im happy my Forte still works.But it hasnt changed the fact that 470 seems to have a bug in the Custom tag. Its not a shattering prob for me.i will use normal view as usual until it if ever gets fixed. What i love about our forums is how everyone jumps in to help solve stuff.And i lesrn so much in the process.

That's a weird issue, the Custom tab is working fine for me with build 470.

Wendy, can you email us directly at support@pgmusic.com please? I have an installer I'd like to send you that may help. Please write "Attn Kent" in the subject line so it gets left for me.

Thanks

Kent,I emailed you.HOWEVER I did a bit of messing about today because it was my day off and this is what I found if its of any help.
As i said, if I go back to 462, the Custom tab drop down list is there but in 470 its just blank.My photos show the difference.BUT and its a BIG BUTT (who? me?)if i go back to 462 and I ADD any and I mean ANY button from the drop down tab into my Custom tab in 462, come out of BIAB, and then run update 470,not only is the button i added in 462 showing in Custom in 470 BUT the whoile button list is now in the drop down. OK Kent - go figure that one. lol.

I think its all sorted now.The file I got off Kent works fine and the Custom tab fully drops down with all the buttons to choose from.But then again it did that after I had mesed with the 462, added a button to Custom there, go to 470 and it appeared as if by magic.And so of course did all the other buttons.Im only learning BB(and sometimes not very well)but it struck me that doing what I did in 462 dislodged whatever was causing 470 not to shsow anything in its dropdown.I emailed Kent back and told him what I thought.Thank you for all the info guys.

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."
