Hi

I really liked the look of the older (Pre 2018) BIAB. Just like in the video "Making a Song in Band-in-a-Box"...

Is there any way that I can have a choice of having the older style or the newer Style?

Hi,

With the Windows version of BIAB, there are two views. These are the 'Standard' view and 'Full Screen'. They are accessed by using CTRL+T to toggle between the two.

They can also be accessed via the 'Window' menu that sits between Help and Harmony. It's called "Full screen chordsheet view".

Hope this helps,
Noel

not really sure what you mean, could you provide a screen view ( use File Manager to add that file to your post )

I knew you were on Mac (because of your post in the Mac forum). What I was trying say is that if Windows has two different desktop views in BIAB 2018, then I imagine that the Mac version also has two different views.

It's just a matter of finding how to switch between them.

Windows BIAB uses (CTRL+T) and there's an alternative option found under the "Window" menu on the upper row of menus items. I thought that information might help you locate the switching-between-views mechanism.

Sorry I cannot be more help.

Regards,
Noel

Control t is the ticket! on the Mac, too. Being able to Show/Hide is sweet — didn't know I wanted that till this thread. Yes!

It's nice when things work like that.

Thanks for the update. That's useful information. I'll try and keep it in mind.

I nearly always work in 'Standard Screen' mode. I like having all the other controls and menus easily seen and accessed. I usually switch to 'Full Screen mode' only if I want to see the whole chord sheet.
