Hi
Is it possible to restore all Band in a Box settings to the default as installed.
I have been experimenting with settings to do with transposing keys etc, and it got in a bit of a mess. I'm not sure which pitch it is now in, so I would like to restore to default settings.
Is this possible?
Regards

PGMusic publishes a FAQ page in their Support section and the BiaB for Macintosh FAQ reports the following: Quote:
44. How can I return Band-in-a-Box to the factory settings?
Returning to factory settings can help troubleshoot odd and unexplainable problems you are having with the program. You must have Band-in-a-Box closed when you do this.
Band-in-a-Box saves all the settings files in the /Band-in-a-Box/Preferences folder, which makes it easy to save a particular configuration, or return the program to factory settings. It is a feature of Band-in-a-Box that it is "self-contained" in it's own folder, and doesn't need to rely on files scattered around your hard drive (with the exception of the PG Music Font Suitcase, which is in the /Libary/Fonts folder).
For example, if you want to restore Band-in-a-Box to factory settings while keeping your current settings backed up, you can:
Close Band-in-a-Box. Open the Band-in-a-Box folder and duplicate the Preferences subfolder. To duplicate a folder, you can select it and press Command+D. Name it "Preferences OLD" (the exact name doesn't matter).
Open the "Preferences" folder, and trash all the files within it. To do this, you can press Command-A (select all), then Comand-Delete (move to trash). It doesn't matter if you delete the "AboutPrefsFolder.txt" file.
Band-in-a-Box is now at the default settings. You will need to reset your MIDI drivers etc. the next time you run the application. If you want to restore your previous settings in the future, rename your "Preferences Old" folder to "Preferences".
Note that the menu item MIDI | Return to Factory Settings accomplishes the same thing as deleting the file Intrface_X86.BBW. This may help with the problem you're trying to solve, but it isn't a complete reset, and doesn't allow you to save your previous settings.
