I am asking this on behalf of Jørgen Jansen.
He has some issues, that seems to be related to a problem with his keyboard. But the keyboard works fine in other applications. I haven't found any setting in Band-in-a-Box, that seems to affect this.

He cannot write a minor chord in the notation window, only in the chord sheet. He can enter a C but not a Cm, for instance.
When he attempts to write Cm, there is a "pliong", and a notehead is entered in the notation window instead of a chord.

When he starts the program and opens a song, he would normally press the space bar to start playback. But this opens the tutorials page on PG Musics homepage.
Arrow up/down would normally jump 5 bars left/right, but instead they alternate between the instruments (B-P-T-G-S-P-S-E).

At one point he pressed the space bar and the entire melody was erased.

He has a problem with recorded audio, that gets out of sync with the rest of the arrangement, when the song has tempo changes, and it is rendered to MP3. Playback from within Band-in-a-Box works fine with tempo changes.

I would check the NumLock - on my keyboard the m is also the number zero when NumLock is pressed.

I see you might be in Denmark? I think I have experienced some issues because I have a foreign keyboard. I would consider installing the U.S. English keyboard in Windows and switching to that to see if it helps.

I've had problems in the past entering sharps as # and had to use the 3 key on my uk english keyboard

may be its a similar problem as suggested above. laptop keyboards are often in my experience set in their ways and some keys just can't be changed

Hello Heine,

I'm assuming this is Band-in-a-Box 2020 - could you check that he has Build 713 installed? There was a bug fixed with spacebar sometimes launching the tutorials in the notation window. I've not heard of the other keyboard problems, but see if those are still happening with build 713. Also, if you could confirm the keyboard layout and language.

If the user is using a laptop, another item to check if the laptop "function" key is inverted.
