Band-in-a-Box 2010 Build 16 is available (May 4, 2010) http://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintoshupdates.htm#2010_16This patch will update Band-in-a-Box to version 2010 Build 16 from any previous 2010 build. You must have Band-in-a-Box 2010 for Macintosh installed for this update to work. If you are updating an external PG Music hard drive, make sure to choose the correct destination volume (install on specific hard drive). Summary of Changes for Build 16 (May 4, 2010) Fixed: Crash with some RealTracks. Summary of Changes for Build 15 (May 3, 2010) Improved: Better RealTracks endings for complex chords like Cm9, C69, Cm11. Improved: Chords like Cdim and C7sus can be used for endings (a held chord is played for them). Fixed: Some RealTracks riffs were being transposed incorrectly. Fixed: Soloist track not being loaded in certain cases if a melody was also present. Added: RealTracks support for dominant 7th slash chords. Fixed: Realtracks endings wouldn't play in certain cases if riff overlapped previous one. Fixed: Jazz bass and piano weren't tempo swapping at fast tempos. If you encounter a problem or have a concern with any of the features / functions of Band-in-a-Box, do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Peter -
I started working with BiaB with the old Mac version (was it BiaB 12?) some years ago.
Then I changed to PC Version and bought 2008 and then 2009. So - I am a little bit experienced.
When I saw, that you offer the version 2010 also for Mac, I bought it.
But I am a little bit disappointed.
There is a very different interface from the PC-Version on the first view I miss some features, have a lot of problems by setting codas and repeats (I do not know if these are the right English words) and, worst - I cannot find the Practice Window. No Button and not under the Topic Windows. Is there no more a Practice Window?
Thanks for Help
Wolfgang

And - the when I open the Lyrics Window - I type my text. But how can I come out of the Lyrics window?
And - where is the Lead Sheet Window?
And - why does every song always has 5 Choruses? No matter if I set 1 chorus, and save the song then. By opening new, it has 5 choruses again.
And - where is the ear training window?
What is this? Should I have staid at the windows version? Why did nobody telling before, that the Mac-Version is only a Beta (or Alpha) version?
An Answer would be nice.
Best
Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,
Sorry, I didn't see your post here earlier.
The PC and Mac versions don't have exactly the same set of features. You're right, the Mac version doesn't have the Practice window or ear training window, and the notation/lyrics features are less advanced. However, it is simpler to use than the PC version in many respects, for example with respect to audio rendering and driver setup.
To exit the lyrics window, press ESC. I am not sure why the song would default to 5 choruses. The default is 3 for new files. Perhaps you could send a song with this behavior to support @pgmusic.com
