I'm aware of the chord shortcuts, but what about keyboard shortcuts for editing and copying, e.g., typing "K" followed by enter copies the last 8 bars to the current position, etc? Having a list of those would be very helpful. Is there one? Best, Bob Last edited by jazzwombat; 03/15/14 04:26 PM. Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/BobBelas

In the all new Manual, hit ctrl-f and type in, "keystroke" to rapidly search thru for all the mentions of Keystrokes, to include a listing all in one place. But even better, the Keystrokes for shortcuts are now also pretty much all listed "by the function" throughout as well. Also pay attention to the Menus when you look for a command, may of the Keyboard Shortcuts for functions are listed just to the right of the function description in the menus. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

The first, dated 10-March and labelled 'Beta' did not include the manual, the second, released a couple of days later, (but still dated 10-March) is still labelled Build 381, but not Beta, and does include the manual. Please download from the link again, and reapply the upgrade. Hope this helps Regards Trevor BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

This new Manual is hot stuff, put it on your .pdf reader if you have one, paperless office and all that, I'm learning all sorts of stuff about Band in a Box usage right now. "Wow.

We are all improving constantly. This 'beta' update has a history that is not consistent, as I have pointed out. In my opinion, a new or even improved update warrants a new build number. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.
