Hello,

My biab is not displaying any song length. Likewise,
when I press the MEMO button, nothing happens.

Other ways to find out song length?

stumped

You don't have the song length on the top line of the screen, somewhere above the Piano radio button?

On the third row down, it says, from left: Master, Bass, Piano etc.

In front of each is a small circle. That's called a radio button. Think of it like an old pushbutton radio dial (depends on how old you are whether this reference will work for you).

The location you should look for is above the piano radio button, or directly above the Window - Help menu options.

The radio buttons date back to a time before the mixer as we now know it. The radio buttons were a way to select one track.

I still actually use them in one way: I right-click on the Master button and freeze or unfreeze all tracks. There are other actions you can take. It's all a matter of workflow, and you have found a way to work without them.

For anyone who happens to stumble across this in the future and needs a quick visual reference, you can find the song length as describes above on the top row of your program (you can see it underlined in red below) :
