Normally, BiaB looks like this, with lines across separately "A" and "B" sections:






But when the Repeat is moved, the lines go away and the colored section markers now touch:






Is there a way to get the lines back or is it a bug?
PG Support did not know.

It looks like the line spacing has changed but going to Options and changing the pixel spacing didn't seem to make any difference.

Sounds to me more like an unintended consequence.

Are you running full screen or a resized window?

"Unintended consequence" being an euphemism of course for "bug."

Always full screen.

Did you try cycling through the part markers again? Or, maybe remove all of them and put them back. That may reinitialize the lines.

I have had the same problems. As far as I know there is no way around it.

I simply don't use repeats any more unless it's a 12 bar blues type of song.

Yep, that was lame attempt at humor and roundabout way of agreeing with you.

Well, the only way around not using repeats is to just chart out the entire song over and over to the end, correct?

That's what I do.

I just copy and paste the whole section in one shot.

It's just as fast, but I think the rendering is longer.

Yes, well, but there is a limit to how many measures in BiaB.

And I have always wondered, does it in fact take longer to load a song that way.

Anyone ... ?
