Here I am confused by band in a box again. The melody is playing but not showing up in notation or the lead sheet. the only thing I remember changing is the style.

Any ideas what I have done?

Thanks in advance,

Changing Style can change a lot....


Is the melody on the Melody Track? Solo the track to confirm
Is the track frozen? Look at the snowflake icon
Is this Audio or Midi or MST? Green, Yellow, or blue text in the mixer
Have you used the Return to Facotry Settings - this is first thing to do when BIAB misbehaves.
Can you upload the file for us to try. This saves us all a lot of time.

If the Melody track is green (a RealTrack) then it is possible you had selected a RealTrack that does not have a transcription available.

To know if a RealTrack has notation or not, first go to the RealTracks Picker. Then look under the Chart column. The "N" means it has notation. Also, "Gt" means that the guitar will display a guitar tab, or if it is a bass then the bass track will display a bass tab.

Also, look at the radio buttons at the very top of your screen. The green track names that have an underline are the ones that have notation available.


Best,

You may have saved the melody as audio. Look to see if there is an audio file with the same name as your song file; for example: "ThisSong.MGU" & "ThisSong.wma"

Band-in-a-Box defaults to loading any audio file that has the same name as the song file.

If the melody was showing up in the Leadsheet before you changed your style, and you are 100% sure that the melody was on the melody track, it's possible that you've loaded a style that and an instrument on the Melody track. What's the name of the style you loaded?
