OP Philsaxophone Apprentice Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 117 Weybridge, Surrey, UK	Hi Guys I run windows BinaB 2014 ultrapluspak having just upgraded from 2013 I run it on a desktop which I use for composing and then a small notebook for running in a live stage situation--I have copied the full set of software to the hard drive of each I have just used the toggle function--Ctrl T--for the first time which works OK except that lots, but not all, of the chord symbols have changed size substantially, although not font style, and that size change stays the same when I toggle back I have tried it on both machines and its the same so I don't think its a PC fault If I close BinaB and reopen it then the problem is gone Any ideas anyone

It happens when I UNFOLD into ONE CHORUS from the default..... not a big issue and I like to see more measures with smaller fonts. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I don't think that happens on a printed lead sheet though.

Cerio Expert C Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,541 Spain	I sent an email to support a couple of days ago regarding a similar problem, but the email was returned (probably a problem with the video I attached; I'll send it again as soon as possible): it seems that in some cases (usually after going to full screen mode and back) the program gets confused between the two modes and "thinks" it's in Full Screen Chordsheet mode when it's actually in regular mode. The problem is that in those cases, BIAB doesn't display correctly the cursor when playing the song in regular mode, and you can't actually see the chords that BIAB is playing because the cursor gets literally out of the screen. Latest BIAB version, latest build.
