Wow!

That's the answer to most of my newbie questions!

Thank you very much, Peter.

BTW, what style is used for the music playing in the background on the "Repeats & Fake Sheet Mode in Band-in-a-Box" video? It's just the perfect style for a song I'm working on right now.

Pretty please...?

There have been many videos on different items over the years. I really appreciate them, too! Is there a single location where they are all in one place?

Thanks. I have subscribed to the youtube channel.
