Every Line“-boxes are checked, the leadsheet shows and „&“ instead of the clef and the key signs are placed above the staff lines; both are too big; It seems that the influence on „Fonts“ in the „Notation Options“-windows is limited.

For example, if you set the notation window to display tab, then yes, you will see tab for every notation (and leadsheet) window. Try setting Notation and Leadsheet options back to defaults (there are buttons in both dialogs), and things should be back to normal. Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

If you choose „Options“ in the „Lead Sheet Window“ and then click or unclick „Clef Sign Every Line“ and „Key Signature Every Line“ the layout (on-screen) is o.k.; these choices do not affect the „Print Options“-window; if you choose „Print“ in the „Lead Sheet Window“ or in the „Notation Window“ the „Print Options“-window opens and there again you can choose „Clef Sign Every Line“ and „Key Sig. Every Line“ ; if you click these two boxes, the print-out is wrongly as described above (unfortunately I do not know how to post a picture here); if you unclick these two boxes the print-out is o.k. But may be its a fault somewhere in the depht of the Mac and has nothing to do with BiaB. Would not be for the first time (see post about midi import to Logic pro). Regards.

I have tried again the other issue, and it still remains wrongly: In the „Print Options“-window (you get there either by choosing „Print“ from the „Lead Sheet Window“ or „Print“ from the „Notation Window“ the following boxes cannot be clicked: • „Bass Clef“ and • „Tab“ and • „Clefs split“ cannot be used. Accordingly you cannot get a print-out with only bass clef. (You get a correct on-screen bass clef layout by clicking the appropriate boxes in the „Lead Sheet Window“.) The box „Tab“ in the „Print Options“-window can only be chosen, if you click the box „Tab“ in the „Notation Options“-window. (You get there by choosing „Opt.“ in the „Notation Window“.) But you cannot unclick it then. Regards. Norbert Germany iMac, Intel Core i9, 64 GB, macOS 15.7.5 (24G624) BiaB 2026 for Mac, Audiophile version

OP Nomi Enthusiast N Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 94 Germany	Hi, there is yet another bug in the print-out of a leadsheet: It occurs, when you change the key signature of a song (press „F5“, choose an appropriate change in the „Key signature change“, choose „Print“ function). There are two different types of bugs: one if there are no notes in the chosen track (sharps and flats displayed wrongly; above the staff lines); one if there are notes in the chosen track:naturals displayed wrongly and shown above the staff lines. I have sent three example print-outs (PDF-files) to the support, but I guess people did not understand me; the support proposed that I should install build 64 – which I already had installed. Hope that the bugs will be fixed with an update. Thanks in advance. Regards. Norbert Germany iMac, Intel Core i9, 64 GB, macOS 15.7.5 (24G624) BiaB 2026 for Mac, Audiophile version
