The notation window gets weird when it goes to “page 2”. This means, if it only displays 8 lines of melody (4 bars each, say 32 bars, including intro) and the song goes to line 9 the indicator doesn’t follow any longer. The chord sheet gets all garbled and you no longer know which bar you’re in.

If you want the whole lead sheet in one window (say, it’s ten lines long including intro) weird things happen to your chords. Some become tiny and unreadably small. If you tweak settings (like engravers’ or how big the notes are in the display) it helps, but never enough to have your score on one page… something that works in Musescore or Fortenotation perfectly (up to 11 lines all readable and clean.

Printing a score leads to strange results if there is a page 2 to your fake sheet. Like this example shows. There are no notes, but there are chords above each line, which no longer show.

Thx, Jim, I have the latest 2021 build, and I have the latest win 10 on an MS Surface 3 pro.

I had a reset to factory, but, to no avail.

Had similar issues with previous versions.

I've never seen that result, but one thing that does happen is your previous settings are erased if you go to preview mode. There's a post relating to the issue at this link.

Might be worth checking, just in case it's related.

Thing is, it looks great in preview. Nothing wrong there.

But, if you press print to pdf, you get this weird result. Every line should look like the last one, except, in pdf it doesn’t.

Which PDF printer are you using? I wonder if this makes a difference?
PG Music have their own supplied PDF995 printer (see below). I haven't tried it but it would be interesting to know if this problem is common to one or more PDF printer drivers.

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.
