1/ The screen displays 2 lines : the first one interesting for me (melody and chords), the second one below with F Key always empty. How to get only the first line displayed ?
2/ When I try to export a video, I get a one line / 4 measures. I would prefer 4 lines of 7 measures each, and the possibility to get a smooth page change (as I see on YouTube scores). Is an option (or many) to have such a video file ?
Thank you

Armagnac, firstly welcome.
I wonder could you provide some more detail about where you are looking and seeing the F Key. Is this near the song title, on the Mixer window or elsewhere. If you press <Control>T to bring up a different screen layout, are the F Key and the Chorus/Melody items in the same location?

Actually I see the chords in full screen. If I choose the Notation item and choose the 6th item (in French Mode affichage propre), I see now a 2 lines score, the first one is the melody (sax tenor), the second below with a F key completely empty.
When I try to make a video, it is this screen that is choosed by the program and I don't know how to modifify this screen. First, no second line, then get more lines with the sax tenor melody.
Difficult to explain because I'm a newbie, and more difficult, a French one !
Thank you

Armagnac,
As for your first question: always two systems (violin and bass keys) are displayed in the notation view, even if you only need one system for your melody. To my knowledge this cannot be switched off, you can only select which system to print when printing the notes.
It would by a nice feature to switch on/off unneeded systems also in the notationview.

If I understand this correctly, we’re talking about seeing both treble and bass clef in the Notation Mode and Editable Notation Mode.
If so, I concur with Brille.

Armagnac,
what you can do – as a kind of "workaround" – is to open the "Leadsheet" window (click the Leadsheet-Button). There you can choose to display only the melody track. Now you can actually see several systems below each other. In the options you can also set how many bars you want to place in one line and choose treble and/or bass clef.

Thank you. I still obtain this screen in Notation Mode, but if I try to make a video (.mp4), I see only the 2 lines, with the bass line empty as said before, and never the Notation screen with 4 lines and only the melody line. I know it's possible (because the author Sergey Brazhnik told me he uses BB) to obtain this kind of video on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL80uQOTy3Y

I'm probably way off but... Could he possibly be talking about the 2 bar ending BIB automatically puts onto each new song?
I know I had issues with that at first.

Hello Armagnac,
I think he must have used a (third party) screen capture program and recorded a video while the song was playing. As you have found, the 'Save video' options that Band-in-a-Box provides just do one line of a notation track at a time.

Andrew but Is it possible to generate one line of a notation track at a time for a melody via BIAB like the video partiture made by Sergey Brazhnik ?

No, it shows the same as the notation window, with both clefs.
