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

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.
