Another newbie question. Search has not revealed the answer...

Is there a way to view all the style changes entered with the F5 menu all over a song?

I played with this but then realised I cannot find them unless I listen through the piece and note them down.

On the Main Chord Entry Page, any bar that you have modified bar settings will have a red underline. If you open any of the modified bars with F5, the style change will be listed near the top of the Bar Settings Menu.

In addition, there's also a button on the bottom of the F5 (Bar Settings) window called "Print Summary". If you click on that, it will create a Notepad text file with all the bar settings used in the song.

I find this not to be the case. Some of the changes seem to just be undetectable with this method. Every single bar in my song has the red for other teasons but I stll cannot find style changes.

Try the Song Memo icon, Bar Summary button. Make sure the Summary checkbox is checked.

Try as Noel says to see why you have every bar underlined!

That may be true. The red line signifies any modification made to a bar. That means something else occurred on your bars or else there's some type of corruption to that particular file. If you have every bar underlined on every BIAB file for no known reason, that is a problem that you would likely have to involve PGMusic staff to help unravel. You indicate you know the reason for the underlines. In my songs, I often find that songs that have been processed through the Audio Chord Wizard will cause the bars to be underlined due to the changing tempo detected by the ACW.

Yes, I’ve seen the ‘all bars red’ from applying a tempo map from ACW.

That is a great help. I did it and it shows what I needed to see.

It also showed that every single bar had a beat change to 4 in it. That is why they were all marked in red.
