I have a song that has 4 bar intro, then has 38 bar section that repeats 3 times. Then there is a tag ending that lasts 5 bars. It plays fine but I cannot get it to print the 42 bar song plus the tag. I have tried notation window and leadsheet. I can force it to print all the bars but it will not put in the repeat/tag sign. Thanks for any help.

Hi,

In the Help file when I searched for "print tag", I found the following tip.



With this in mind ...

In the Lead Sheet Window, select "Print" to enter into the Print Options.



Over on the right there are a number of options. The above tip is referring to the "Last chorus" selection in this group called 'Print Range'. I suspect that to get the song to print with the tag, it's necessary to select "Whole song".



Hope this helps.
Noel

P.S. I've never used tag endings. This is just a bit of guess work on my part. Please let me know the outcome smile

When in LeadSheet view, hit the Options button.

Then:

Quote:

Print Range (First Chorus/Last Chorus/Whole Song)

You can either print the First chorus, the Last chorus, or the whole song. When you change this setting, Band-in-a-Box will reset the number of staves per page setting in order to auto-fit the printout to one page, if possible.

The [Custom] button allows you to select a custom range of bars to be printed.



Tip: You'll want to print the last chorus in a song that has a tag ending, or if you want to see a 2-bar ending printed.

Hi,

Another option would be check the "Fake Sheet Mode" box in the Leadsheet window, and select "Whole Song" as your print range.

That way your chorus will only print once, and both your intro and tag ending will be included.

Thanks

That worked. I never tried whole song figuring I would get 6 pages or something. Thanks.

You might find it useful to start using the Print Preview first.

This is a true WYSIWYG, allowing us to view the document exactly as it will be printed before wasting ink and paper.

I have to do this all the time for the instruments in my band and I would always use the Green Button to the Leadsheet Window (Alt W) to print the Fake Sheet, as Kent recommended. It is worthwhile pointing out that before printing you should have a look at the 'Opt' button, where you can tick not only "Fakesheet including ending bar" but also "Fakesheet displays multiple lines of lyrics". You will have to alter the "Staves per page" to make sure there is enough room for the required number of lines of lyrics.
