In the Chord Progression Builder the video incorrectly describes clicking a chord (to audition it) vs. shift-clicking a chord (to insert it). I am using build 1106 and either of those will audition AND insert the chord.

Is the video wrong or is it a bug in the program?

It’s a new feature, to be included in the next patch. Within a couple of days.

Thanks Peter, you have really come through with a quantum leap !
It's been 100 degrees over here all day, been catching brown snakes that come in the house to get out of the heat, totally worn out, I just lay down in bed and watched the video, it's great ! giving the users so much creative control.
Those Jailbreaks are great !

Really useful video showcasing the new 2024 features! You're hot. I'm cold. it's 3°C here in Arcachon, France, about as cold as it ever gets. You've got brown snakes coming in and I had UPS show up a day early with the Lakland HB30 hollowbody bass that I ordered from Fanatic Guitars in Barcelona, Spain. It's resting nicely, warming up so I can tune it and check the intonation. That will give me time to try out the new Multipicker in 2024 to create a backing track to play along with. It's SO nice not to have to work for a living anymore.

Happy Holidays, y'all! Enjoy your early xmas present, the BiaB 2024 upgrade!

hello

1.Please restore the refresh button on the right side of clear on the style page. There used to be a refresh button, which was very easy to use. But it was canceled in 2024. It would be best if the refresh key could be added to the F7 page.

2.The second and fourth chords of each bar can be played via enter-shift. Now only the first and third of each bar can be played.

The Chord Settings window is no free floating so you can leave it open like the Chord Builder:

Do I have to use the mouse to click 1, 2, 3, 4, and then click preview?

Can I use the right arrow key? → Then use enter-shift to play?

For the third and fourth chords, can't each bar be converted into direct input? This is very practical.

No. You can press the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 on the qwerty keyboard, but you must press Preview after each selection.

(However, this is now completely off the actual Topic of this thread)

You need to press Preview then a number from 1 to 4 on the QWERTY keys, then press Preview to hear the chord. Then press a different number.
it works:

You need to press these keys. Do you have them?

Thank you very much. According to your hint, I succeeded.

Still, it feels inconvenient. Especially to the next bar will be more trouble.

Still want to be able to directly each bar four cells, and can use the enter shift to play.

Well, it would be easy - if only there were some words to explain what the graphic is doing crazy
