Hello,
Could you add the possibility of entering bars in 3/8, 5/8, 7/8 etc.: there are "official" scores which include this type of bars ; see for example bar 21 in the score of "Do You Know Where You're Going To" (sung by Diana Ross): https://musescore.com/official_scores/scores/6961610
Thanks in advance.

Requests for key signatures other than 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4 have been on the wish list many times.
So for the umpteenth time

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Yes, and while you are at it, make "cut time" a real first class citizen, both in the time signature display and how the bars work, so that a bar has a one-to-one correspondence to sheet music written in 6/8, etc, and cut time. As it is now, to enter chords for tunes in these time signatures, you have to double up and put two measures worth of chords in each bar. It gets very confusing.

I can't believe after all these years this hasn't been done. This is what is wrong with Band in a Box and their development philosophy. They don't seem to understand that details matter, especially if you are trying to attract new customers and claim you make it easy to create backing tracks. I have bandmates I could turn on to using Band in a Box, but this kind of stuff makes it a no go. It should have been fixed long ago.

As Mario stated, this has been one of "The Big Three" on the Wish List for a long time.
The other 2: more than 4 chords per measure (already addressed) and
number of bars available in the song (still at 255).
So, +1 again for more time signatures. All we can do is keep trying.
"After all these years"! - Indeed.
