What are you talking about Boweles? The buttons for that are right in front of you in everybody's posts. What do you see to the right of the header in each post? Reply, Quote and Quick Reply. It's called Duh...

You want to quote something you hit ummm...the Quote button maybe??

You're new and that's fine but please don't start with the criticisms until you have a clue how things work. Most of us really hate that. Those buttons are fast shortcuts but as you see how it works you'll start writing the code out manually like Pat described.

Your description of your situation as a former music teacher wanting to get back into it is pretty much what all of us here do. We wern't all teachers but some are. In my case I was a full time touring player back in the day, got out of music completely for years and them picked it back up. I realized I either had to do that or give up music forever so I bought my first synth keyboard, a Kurzweil K1000 back in 1987 and started gigging again. I started with Biab about 7 years ago. With absolutely zero background with computers and less than zero experience working with any kind of music related programs it was a struggle believe me. And yes I admit I had my share of stupid comments in posts because I had no clue what I was doing.

There programs are fantastic, that's all I can say. Not perfect mind you and I have lots of wishlist items like we all do but still great tools anyway. Biab is used by music teachers the world over including a good friend who teaches guitar and owns three teaching studios. All his teachers use Biab because of the tools like the ear training function, setting up the circle of fifths for practice plus of course setting up whatever song you want a student to practice that week. The original key is G and he learns that so a couple of mouse clicks and it's now in Bb and you tell him to do it there, etc.
