I get divide by zero errors when I run the old versions but it should work on any version, the current version of Chord Picker uses CTRL+F2 or right click Edit Chord, not sure when the Edit Chord option came in but if 2011 has that you should be right else you could modify it to use ALT+F5. Either way it will insert the chords but might not add remove rest, shots, holds or pushes.
EDIT: I found my old hard drives and ran BB from it, the only thing that needed changing was when you Edit the Chord in 2011 the chord is already highlighted but in 2018 it's not so i just took the highlight line out of the script.
For earlier versions of Biab the only thing that needed changing was when you Edit the Chord in 2011 the chord is already highlighted but in 2018 it's not so i just took the highlight line out of the script.
Small suggestion... Might be a good idea to add a version letter somewhere on the home screen. That way we call all see if we need to upgrade. I am using your address link to see if it is a new version or not.

Very minor suggestion: I noticed that using the rest, shot or hold buttons adds the dots but doesn’t recognize if you change your mind, so if you use more than one button it just adds more dots. Perhaps consider checking to see if one of these three already exists and if so, clear it and start the chord fresh.

Thanks Matt for feedback. You have Rest, Shot, Hold, Push that add to a new chord you just entered. You have Set-Chord-Rest(,Shot,Hold,Push) that changes an existing chord to. You have Remove-Pushes Remove-Shot-Hold-Rest that will remove existing ones from the chord.
Update 2.1e beta Transpose Chord /Slash (Transposes the /note only) Fixed Set-Chord-Hold Added Set-Chord-Rest(,Shot,Hold,Push) (Will remove any current Rest Shot Hold Push first)
Biab Chord Picker Tool 2015 to 2010 (if you can right click to edit the chord then it will work on your version, and if it's already highlighted then use this version) It will work on older versions below 2010 but most of the editing chords won't, it can be modified to edit the chord via Alt+F5 Chord Options window, it depends on how many users are still using the older than 2010 versions ????

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
