OK I finally give up, lol. I have been trying to find out for myself for quite a few days now whether the number of lines displayed in the chord pattern window can be increased. Such a basic thing, but I'm not finding how to do that I love the way you can now resize the window in 2013 in order to have other things open alongside, especially lyric sheets to help tweak the scan on the fly. Plus the 4-column/bars width of the window is fine for me right down to quite a narrow size. However, I only have 10 chord-pattern lines top to bottom and if I make the window deeper I just get 10 deeper lines and bigger chord letters ... But I'd LOVE to get more of a song actually in view rather than have half-inch or more tall lines ... I've googled it and gone right through the manual and the how-tos too, but have either completely missed something or maybe it just isn't doable anyway? Can someone please confirm whether this is possible or not so I can stop chasing my tail? ... and if it is, how??  Thanks! PS, any rumours of getting more than 256 (255! WTF?!) bars any time? Now THAT was a very big groan when I discovered it!! I can work in sections - simple backings stitched in Audacity for example - but it would be SO much better if it wasn't necessary.

In the top-line menu, select "Opt, Preferences", then select the "Display" tab. Down towards the bottom, you will see an item called "Chordsheet Font". Here you can set the font dize displayed and the number of rows to show on the screen.
Below that, you can also change the thickness of the grey lines that divide the part markers.
Hope this helps.

John thank you SO much for pointing me toward that .. exactly what I was wanting to uncover. Such a better workspace now.
Now, about upping that 255 Bar limit ... hmmm, sadly I have a feeling that's not going to be so easy!

The 255 bar limit has been on the wishlist for a long time now (as long as I can remember, and I started with BIAB version 8 - that's 8, not 2008).
Yes, hopefully we'll see that increased at some point.

Hi hannay,
If you need to create a song that has more than 255 bars, Realband will allow you to do that. The process is very similar to using BIAB.
Regards,
Noel
