Hi, I am no longer able to insert notes with a mouse click in editable notation mode. I have no problem with BiaB only RealBand. I had no problem with XP or Vista but recently upgraded to Windows 8 64 bit. I have reinstalled back to Biab 12.5 but the problem is the same. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. John
Have you purchased 2014 BIAB and Real Band?? And do you have enuff memory for "64 bit" to apply nicely to Real Band.
I would think with all the improvements in 2014 programs that you would pay to upgrade to the latest. If you're using Win 8 with 2012.5, I don't really know why you are getting tripped up, unless it's a matter of not using the latest PG version with your Win 8 or 8.1. This new version from Microsoft is like "the dawn of aquarius", expecially not only with PG's great new programs, but working easily with the X-Box Streaming Media, and the shortcut programs that come with it...only to lead you by the nose to additional X-Box programs that will make your other music data, very easily searchable w/ additional music listing programs that will make your day.
You've got Win 8 or 8.1, so use it with PG 2014 and X-Box to make your "Life", a whole lot easier!
Hi, sorry to not include full details, computer is running i5-3330 cpu 3.0 GHz with 8 Gb memory and 2 Terrabyte Harddrive. Latest update of BiaB 2014 which I thought was the cause of the problem which is why I reinstalled back to 12.5 Thanks John
I'm not a Windows 8 expert by any stretch of the imagination.
One thing that I'd try, though, is to set the launch properties of Realband.exe to Administration mode. To do this, right-click on the start-up icon, select properties from the menu that pops up and then set Administration mode. I've noticed from reading these forums, that doing this can solve a number of problems so it's worth a try.
Hi, I am no longer able to insert notes with a mouse click in editable notation mode.
do any of these methods work
When inserting a note, holding down the mouse button and then pressing the Shift key (click+Shift) will make the note 1 half-step sharper than the position that you click on.
Holding down the Ctrl key and then clicking (Ctrl+click) will make the note 1 half-step flatter, and
holding down the Alt key will make the note a natural. Hold the key down until after you release the mouse button.
You can also insert notes by clicking on the Piano or the Guitar window.
If you click on the Piano or Guitar window, notes will be inserted into any open Notation window at the current location in the Notation window.
For example, if you click on middle C of the Piano keyboard, a middle C will be inserted into the Notation window.
There is a 1-peg hot key in the Notation window to move current time forward or backward by 1 peg (normally a 16th note).
Alt+left arrow moves the current time backward by 1 peg. Alt+right arrow moves it forward by 1 peg.
This makes it easier if you are using the on-screen piano for entering notes into the Notation window.
Note: By default, you must hold the Ctrl key before clicking on the Guitar fretboard to insert a note into a Notation window. If the “Send Notes To Notation Windows” option in the Guitar Settings dialog is enabled, holding the Ctrl key won't be required, but be careful not to accidentally insert a note when using the mouse to switch to the Guitar window.
does the delete function work
Notes can be deleted by holding down the Delete key and then clicking over the note you wish to delete.
if wondering if for some reason the computer keyboard is an issue
try unplugging and replugging the keyboard
are you only running realband at the time

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions, Shift&click Ctrl&click Alt&click all have no effect Piano and guitar window both work which at least gives me a work round, thanks for that, but it doubles the input for adding a note. 1-peg hot key works Delete function works can also move existing notes about using the mouse. I have unplugged both the keyboard and the mouse and put them in different usb ports with no effect. I am only running Real band on its own. Many thanks for your help so far , there is obviously something happened between my computer and Realband but at least I now have a way forward, Regards John
reset RB to factory settings by renaming the REALBAND.INI file and RB.CFG to something like REALBAND.INI.OLD and RB.CFG.OLD. This will effectively "delete" those files so that RB is forced to create new ones (thus the factory rest).
which considering the grief you're having.........
