I've been using BB for years, actually... but I think I use maybe 1/100th of the features, because it just... WORKS, and after it works I dump everything into SONAR to edit, mix, and master. And when I go to peruse the BB Manual (yes, I'm a baby boomer, a generation that reads MANUALS!), I get lost, because they type is too small and the manual is simply too full of information I probably won't ever use. Oh, and it's non-linear. With those failings (mine), can / would anyone help me with a couple simple questions, please? 1. I want to start recording my own Real Tracks. I cannot find the template or chord sheet on the PG website. Where does one look, please? 2. After I have an arrangement ready (or the template ready to record), I would like to save the Chord Sheet as a PDF and send it to those musicians who are helping me. Just the Chord Sheet with the Chords, Bar Numbers, and Bar Markers ("Chorus", "Verse", etc). How do I do that? 3. Is there a "BB for Dummies", or other similar BOOK I could buy? If so, what's the ISBN, please? This self-isolation is making me nuts! I might as well be productive! Thank you, and stay safe in the second wave!

For #2, print your music to a PDF file. The print menu includes options of what to include on the printout.
BIAB used to include a utility, PDF995. Install that and choose it instead of the name of your regular actual printer.
I prefer Cute PDF but there are many good free utilities besides the two I mentioned.

Thanks, Matt! That gets me part way there, but the print file is still 3 pages long for a measly 136 bars. Would that "Cute Print" (if I track it down) allow me to compress it into a page? I'm thinking maybe I should use Snip and do it that way...

... the print file is still 3 pages long for a measly 136 bars... On the Print Options, you could increase the number of staves per page.

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.
