When I select Nashvilles, can I also display standard chord names?
I like to use Nashville for typing because it's numbers and easier to type and memorize.
But I also want to see the standard chord names. Is there a shortcut for me to see?
Or is there some sort of screen where I can see the current chord?

Like 4/5 in C major

And then it display: F/G

You've just exercise a couple of hundred key strokes asking a question about reducing your number of key strokes.
You should live up to your "expert" status.

Yes... you can open a layer ("Chord Display | Layers") that will let you have both chords and Nashville numbers visible.

Also, on the normal chordsheet... the one with the letters... you can enter the chords in Nashville notation by typing them in. For example, if you are in the key of C and you type 6m/1, you'll get Am/C.

HI !
That's great! I never noticed this setting.
I've opened it now. The setting is successful.
It's been very helpful. Thank you very much

hello


Can the layer display be narrowed? The layers of the English letters of the chord.

See if this helps...

1) Right-click your mouse in the Nashville layer.

2) Select a percentage that suits.

3) This percentage can also be set via "Display Settings". It's the last option at the bottom of the display options. Namely, "Height % of additional chord display layer".

Hope this helps,
--Noel

I accidentally clicked Close all layers today.
Then, I don't know where to open the layer again.
If you have time, tell me how to turn it back on.

I encountered the same problem. Looks like the chord display context menu is missing in BiaB 2024.

Try to revert back to BiaB 2023 to fix this problem.

If you use CTRL+T to toggle to the standard view, it's possible to access layers as shown on the image below.

Yes, I also spent 15 minutes a few days ago trying to find that "Chord Display" icon. I haven't used the classic view for years, and it seems that that icon can only be found there. Neither the Help nor the Feature browser mention that other method.

This is why many users perceive BIAB as a difficult to use and non intuitive program. Finding some features is an incredibly difficult task, even for experienced users. Menu's layout and GUI really need a serious and thorough overhaul.

Very happy with the old view. Large screen necessary but everything is there, and easy to access.

Yes, that's a reasonable response. I'm sure many users remain familiar and comfortable with.that presentation. I guess that's why the company retained it.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the fact that the second method is undocumented, and thus, really difficult to find for anyone using the new view:

If we want an easy to use product for everyone, all functionality should be also clearly available for anyone using any view.

By the way, is there a button a user can click to open the Alt+F8 Partial Regen window?

There doesn't seem to be a button, a window dropdown menu, or a right click context menu.

The only way you can access this function is using the hot key?

The old view is great except the mixer is only half height of the screen. A pain in the anus when you have to scroll back and forth to edit the utility tracks.

Hi MusicVillian.

Right-click on the track in the mixer and then select "Track Actions".
