BIAB 10.5 Windows 7/64. (Yes, I know. Please don't hurt me.)
I'm trying to clean up a BIAB melody. For whatever reason, when some notes were originally entered at the computer keyboard, the captured duration was wildly off ... 5 bars instead of 1, and other variations. I'm using the Staff Roll Notation window to edit notes so I can visualize the note duration. Strange behavior: After I fix some number of notes (which exact number I cannot report), right-clicking on the next note to be fixed brings up the window saying "You must click on a note to edit it. Do you want to enter section text?" Huh?
If I leave Staff Roll Notation Window briefly for Chord Sheet Window and then return to Staff Roll Notation Window I can resume fixing notes.
What's up with that?

Hi, It sounds like you may be up against the way the notation entry works with Band in a Box. Takes a bit of understanding sometimes, but once that is over, it is simply the fastest method of entering notes using the PC that I have found. PGMusic made a video tutorial on the subject, the URL to it is below, click on it to watch the wmv tutorial on entering notes, it may just clear up the problems for you. http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/wmv/notation_high.wmv Of course, if that is not the issue, by all means report back here, I'm sure we will be able to sort it out. --Mac

Mac, I'm not concerned right now about the note-entry. It's the clean-up that's got me. -Mel

Got it.
Have you tried a Return to Factory Settings?
I'm not sure if you mean you have BB 2010.5 or may be referring to a VERY old BB ver 10.
If you have a newer version, look under the Options menu inside BB and select, "Return to Factory Settings".
In older versions, that won't be listed as a menu item.
Instead, we would have to do it manyually.
With BB completely closed down, locate this file in your bb folder: intrface.bbw
Delete or drag it out of the folder.
Then start up BB.
BB will create a new file to replace the original one as BB starts up, with everything reset to Factory Defaults.
That file must be written to when BB closes down, sometimes a less than proper shutdown of bb can corrupt parts of that file and then things don't work as they are supposed to work.
If you drag the file out of the folder to somewhere else, like the desktop, and then find out that the new factory default file doesn't cure the problem, you can simply replace the new file with the old one again and won't have lost any of your personal settings. But if doing this restores proper operation, then of course you would not want to use the original file again and the only real loss would be having to set your own personal prefs back as you work.
