I used to work with BB quite intensively about 15 years ago and now again have the option/need to use it again.
I upgraded to version 2023 and had the hope that - regarding my topic - things might have been improved during the years. But obviously I can't find any improvements.
Maybe it's just me or I am missing something special. I like to "simply" print a lead sheet that looks exactly like the chord view in BB. Including the signs for repetitions and with the chords vertically centered within the bars. I spent hours back in the days and currently to check almost each and every setting without any result.
Yes, you can do this. The print preview looks something like this in my test:
In the Print Options dialog, uncheck the "Regular chord position when no staff lines" setting. Then, you can just press [Print Chords Only].
One other thing... if you print in "fake sheet mode", this will show the repeat symbols as in my screenshot above. To do that, print from the Lead Sheet window, having the "Fake sheet mode" box checked there.
thanks so much for your reply. I thought that I would get notified about an answer but this didn't happen. That's why it took so long to get back here.
I tried your recommendation and for the first part it worked. But even though I have "Fake Sheet Mode" set, it doesn't print the repeat symbols. It even just prints the whole song until the repeat symbol and skips everything else. Here is a screenshot from the regular BB view with the settings…
Off topic question: How can I get access to my forum settings? I just found the option to log out and to change my mood but no link to my profile or so.

1. Open the Lead Sheet window (Ctrl+L) 2. Check the Fake Sheet Mode checkbox. 3. Click Print. On the right, select the "Whole Song" radio button. also, select "Allow ending in fakesheet". This should now print your tag ending.

In the forum navigation bar, go to "My Stuff | Edit Preferences". Make sure to select Yes for the following:
"By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?"
"Default 'Add Topic to Watch List' to true/checked for any post you make?"
You can have topics, forums and/or users on your watch list and when there are any new posts on your watch list, they will show up on the "My Stuff | Watch Lists" page, and you will get emailed if you have that option set to True. (By default they ARE both set to true, but maybe they were changed at some point, or your account was set up before the feature was available.) Also, double-check your email address.

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.

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."
