Hi everyone,

I'm currently using BIAB 2012. I'm getting back into guitar after a bit of a hiatus, and it's helpful for me to use the guitar fretboard window and the notation window with tablature enabled, because it helps me to visualize the notes in different areas of the guitar fretboard.

The feature works amazingly well! The only problem is that I'm encountering some weird behavior that is inconsistent from song to song. Let me explain below, and hopefully somebody can point me to a setting or something I'm just missing.

First, I'll show you the example where it works, then I'll show you an example of where it doesn't.

I started by opening a demo song that comes with BIAB. For reference, it's _GEO_FGF.STY. Sad Country Bal. (88 RS). I open the melody track in the notation window with guitar tablature enabled. If I click on the 5th position on the guitar fretboard, the tablature is updated so that I can play in fifth position.

Now, if I click on a different position, like position 3, then the tablature automatically updates to reflect that change. You can see that it has me playing the exact same notes but with a different fingering this time.

The difference is subtle, but you can see that the D is now played on the second string instead of the third.

OK. First, let me say: This works brilliantly! Honestly, that's a great feature. It lets me explore all around the fretboard and play the same notes in different places, which is great for practice. I can practice this song today in 5th position and tomorrow in 12th position. This is absolutely a great tool for guitarists!

Now, the problem arises when I open another file. This one is also from PG Music. For reference, it's the ChukRok.sty demo song.

I follow the exact same steps, selecting the melody track in the notation window, and then clicking on different positions on the fretboard, but the tablature never changes. I can click on any fret and the results are always the same... no change.

You can see here that I have clicked on the 5th position, but the tablature is showing me stuff being played on frets 9 through 14! So, something's wrong here.

As far as I can tell from looking through all of my settings, everything is configured the same... I think. Honestly, there are so many settings in BIAB that I'm guessing there's an easy fix here, but I'm stumped. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? It would be invaluable to my guitar study to be able to use this auto-position feature on all songs!

Thanks!
