Greetings, fellow BIB lovers,

I've been a little busy and only today finally got around to installing the 2009 version of the program for Windows, and I also installed the latest update (282). I have discovered that something has changed that I don't like, and I hope someone knows how to put this one feature back like it was.

I like to use the "Pause Play Until MIDI or Key Received" option. (Actually I don't like to, but I have to in order to reduce the loudness of the loud clunk on beat one with some styles and using Nashville even 8; seems related to RealDrums; it's softer if I use a lead-in bar. Why can't this be fixed? I've been asking about it for over a year!)

Anyway, before I updated (from build 257 - like I said, I've been busy), starting playback while using this feature resulted in a yellow box popping up in the upper right corner of the screen that said, "Playback paused till MIDI note or QWERTY key pressed. (This is set in OPT-Preference.)" I liked the way this message would continue to appear, changing colors back and forth, until I pressed a key to actually begin the song. It was handy because I could glance at the screen and tell just by looking at it that it was ready to go.

But now that yellow box only displays for one second and goes away, leaving me unable to tell by looking at the screen whether the song is ready to begin (waiting for my second key press) or if it's waiting my first key press to begin playback.

Is there any way to make this yellow box stay "on" (displayed" until I press another key? It was very handy to me...

Thanks in advance,
JK
