Welcome to BIAB along with its members and the great PG Music staff.

There is a Help file included in 2017.
Think it is PDF format.

Try to help yourself to learn....BUT this forum is great
for help from other members.

Enjoy while you learn.

Great.

Also, we don't think anyone asks many stupid questions on this forum.

There is a great team of users here who will chip-in and help. Review the documentation certainly, but don't be afraid to ask questions if you get stuck. You'll get help.

The only stupid question on this site is one that is not asked!

Welcome to one of most friendly sites on the web.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
