Would someone remind how to set the number of rows option.
I'd like to see more measures.
Thanks

One setting is Options, Preferences, Notation. Change the number in Bars/Screen.

That worked great for the Notation screen Matt.
Can you do that in the Chord Sheet Window?
Thanks

I don't think you can.

Hi,

To add to Matt's excellent reply-

If you are looking to increase the number of rows on the chord sheet display screen then go to Opt > Preferences > hit the "Display" tab and then you can use the "Auto set" range of bars - or uncheck the box and select the number of rows required

You may have to reduce the size of font with more rows in order to make it readable and to squeeze it in

Good point, jazzman.

I thought about mentioning that. Not to put too fine a point about it, but although I do increase the number of rows on my display, it almost makes the problem worse. Not only does it seem completely unbalanced to have a lot of little rows with giant wide columns, but also PG Music added a feature a few versions back that breaks the chordsheet line when you place a part marker. Now you can have rows with as few as two cells. It's like watching a tennis match; you flip your head back and forth trying to watch it. Of course I'm exaggerating, but with my progressive lenses and their small point of focus, I do literally have to shift my head from side to side to keep things in focus. How's that for a Wishlist request: My optometrist made me ask for this...

Gary, please add your support to that Wishlist thread.

That was the preference setting I was looking for.

THANKS Guys

Are you trying to see how well rounded the BIAB for Windows users are? You might find people more knowledgable about the Mac version in the BIAB for Mac section. Just saying.
