I really like the new DAW Plugin!
Very useful to be able to have the chord sheet play in the DAW.

I would also like to be able to see the music sheet play (when I have loaded midi music). Can't find thsi option (meybe it is there somewere, but I can't find it).

Wouldn't that be a DAW function?
Drag the tracks from the VST to the DAW and use the DAW notation, that is if there is notation with your DAW.

If you don't have notation with your DAW the free MuseScore3 may do work for you if you are using a 64 bit OS.

I use Reaper.
I have not found any option to play the midi as music notation in Reaper only piano roll.
I have plenty of software that can play music notation as stand alone.
But I want to see the music play while I am recording my training session in Reaper with backing from the BIAB DAW plugin.
I find it very useful to see the chord sheet playing to keep timing, but would also find it helpful to see the music tro play along with when practising.
I just downloaded MuseScore3 but cant see how to plug it into my DAW (I want it all to be synchronised)

OK I understand now: I thought that you wanted to see the notation as you played but you want to see it in your DAW as you play. My bad.

MuseScore3 is a stand-a-lone program and will not integrate into a DAW.

I also find it very useful to see the BiaB chords in my DAW, Studio One Pro 5.

Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

Many Thanks,

I was not aware of this feature in Reaper.
I will try it out.
I think it will work out fine.
I normally play it through BIAB notation view and thought it might be good to have it in the Plugin. But it will probably work out fine to Raeaper play iy.
