May I please ask how to use the Staff Roll to tie two notes. I have a G that continues into the next bar but is played as a separate note.
I have BIAB Ultrapak 2018 (520) using Windows 10.

Thank you.

Suggest that you remove the note in the next bar and extend the length of the note in the first bar. There are several ways to do this, but in edit mode, right-click and edit the note. You can change the length from there. You can also do this in the piano roll (might be easier)

I think Trevor's approach is easiest but I sometimes use Staff Roll Mode too (as you mentioned).

To do this,

1) delete the second (repeated) note

1) activate Staff Roll Mode as shown on the image below

2) left-click on the centre of the note-head, hold the mouse button down and drag the horizontal blue line to the right for as long as you want the note to be held

Here's a Youtube clip to help. Even thought it shows an older version of BIAB, the process is identical today.

Thanks Noel for the even better approach. Your illustration and reference is appreciated. Time is pretty tight at the moment for me.
That should get the O/P sorted hopefully.
Thanks again
Trev

Depending on the amount of editing to do, I use both methods (edit the note length as Trevor explained by selecting it and selecting "edit" from the popup menu), as well as dragging notes to different durations (as Noel explained).

Two ways to accomplish the same goal.

I have used the staff roll to extend the length of the note and this works okay but I have just noticed that although the song is in 4/4 time, when I now go into Editable Notation Mode I still have four beats but each beat now has 3 vertical lines instead of the 4 that were there originally. Apart from changing the ending I haven't made any other changes.

Grateful for some help with this.

This feature is set by the style (or notation options).

If you use a SW8 (swing 8) or SW16 (swing 16) style, the beats will be groups of 3. If you use an EV8 (even 8) or EV16 (even 16) styles, the beats will be in groups of 4.

To set this manually...

1) enter notation mode

2) select OPT at the top of the staff -- this will take you to "Notation Window Options"

3) the top left checkbox is called "Triplet Resolution"... activating this will tell BIAB to show beats as groups of 3 and deactivating sets BIAB to show beats as groups of 4.

Regards,
Noel

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."
