I apologize I haven't been working on this in a while. Things have gotten busy with a new day job and bands starting to play again. Today, I couldn't even get BiaB to run on my MacBook Pro (13", 2017) - crashes with "invalid load of libcrypto.dylib." I tried some of the hints on here and it seems to have fixed it: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/119429So far, the "file open" window is a normal size. I can hook my MBP to my big monitor if you'd like me to try that. I'm also running BiaB 2019 (324) because I tend to update every other year. It sounds like the 2020 update isn't going to fix the "file open" window problem and I'm having no other issues. It is getting somewhat hilarious how large the "file open" window is on my Mac Mini, though. Pretty soon, I'm going to have to go to my neighbor's house to open a file.  I appreciate the updates and the interest. - Fred

Hi there,
Biab 2020 was just reset today to get rid of the purple on MacOS 11.3.1 Mac Mini.
this window width thing happened in BiaB 2019 after Big Sur update, and it's still happening in BiaB 2020.
BiaB is the only app this happens in. No change in window file dialog in Logic, for example. Surely there's a fix involving setting a default window width for BiaB file save and open?
This is the only change I've noticed once the purple was removed via the reset.
Thanks
iMac 2018, Catalina 10.15.1 BiaB 2019 64-bit
MacOS 11.3.1 Big Sur Mac Mini

Hello everybody ,
just to tell you I have the same problem (growing window, but resizable in the height) on a Mac Air M1
Only in Biab, till now not in other programs.

gablickfl - yes please, see if external monitor makes any difference. Technically your 2019 version is not fully supported on Big Sur, but since the problem exists in 2020 as well this might help us figure some things out.
Parisslim - what model of Mac are you using?
Kelleck - what version of Big Sur? Have you updated to 11.4?

Hi, Simon.
Apologies again for the late response. I guess I lied - I haven't fixed the problem with BiaB crashing on my MBP so I've been unable to test it on my big monitor. I guess I'll have to upgrade to BiaB2021 after all. I'll try to get to that this week and let you know what I'm seeing.
I doubt this has anything to do with anything, but I've also noticed the first time I start up BiaB and open the File Open window, half of the files are greyed out. It's like it's not finishing caching or something. I can still click on them, so it knows they're there; it seems to be just a display glitch. It doesn't bother me at all, but I thought I'd mention it in the off chance it might help you.
Thanks again for your interest and suggestions.
- Fred
P.S. I'm showing as a Newbie because I only recently signed up for the forums. I've been a BiaB user since the 90s and couldn't possibly imagine life without it.

From the looks of it the developers are testing a patch update that should resolve this issue. Stay tuned!

Hey Simon, I just wanted to thank you for all the great info and help you provided. It is very much appreciated.
I'm embarrassed to say that once I upgraded to 2021, all my problems went away. My "File | Open" window can now be resized correctly and I'm completely happy.
Now I have to find something else to [*****] about for my lack of musical ability.
Cheers.
- Fred

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
