I often find myself having to use UNDO simply because i have accidentally pressed a key - causing the first chord in the arrangement being corrupted.

iReal Pro has two modes - EDIT and PLAY which prevent this. It would be good to just have a chord-edit-lock checkbox somewhere which could be clicked when one wants to make sure no accidental typing etc causes the progression to be lost.

I've done that also, but how hard is it to use Undo? 2 clicks, very quick. I usually click Save after every 8 bars so nothing is lost.

That's a good idea, but to me, using UNDO is not (shouldn't be) really a problem in those cases. The real problem to me is that UNDO doesn't work for some very basic operations (for example, style or realdrums changes)

So, my vote goes for getting the UNDO feature fixed in the first place.

You can only Undo if you notice the change. Sometimes it takes playing through the song and hearing a WHAT WAS THAT? to realize what happened. It isn’t always at the beginning of the song or even section. I would very much appreciate having a Lock.

nochai,

+1. A sensitive keyboard and thick fingers means errors happen a lot in my case! Good idea.

Cerio,

I think your suggestion for changing the way UNDO works is worthy of support and discussion. I hope you will create a post featuring the suggestion so it can have its own showcase.

Yes, now I understand, you're right. +1 to the OP.

And I’ll support Cerio’s suggestion about Undo when it’s posted.

Undo should undo whatever. And if there is a function where it can’t undo for some technical reason, then there should be a ‘Caution - can’t undo’ message and a request to confirm the action.

This would be an extremely valuable feature. Non-Linear Editors in the Video industry have always allowed the user to lock/unlock tracks to protect the data content.

+1 (for Cerio as well, a "Revert to saved" kind of way would be just the thing, especially when you forgot to freeze some track that before you know it then gets re-rendered without you wanting it to)


There's only one thing to do in crisis like this - Sleep on it!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
