Greetings, All,

I just installed BIAB 2016, version 2016.0.5.431, on my office computer for testing before I install it on my onstage computer that I use every weekend.

I am experiencing the problem described above when using the Jukebox (as I always do). When the first song finishes, the next song loads, but the chordsheet view shows only cells after the end of the second, not-yet-played song. This needs to be fixed SOON! I rely on being able to double-check the beginning chords of the song before starting it and until this is fixed, I am unable to use 2016.

I will copy this message in an email to PG Support.

Yes, please raise it separately with PGM Support. They may not see it in the user forum, or even if they do, it might go unnoticed for a while frown

I've notified them separately also.

It does the same thing for me. I don't have to be using Jukebox to experience this problem. If I select a song that is long enough that it uses more than one screen's worth of real estate, and load it, then either play it or, as VideoTrack says, just scroll down to the last part of the song so that the first part is no longer visible, and then load another song, the first part of the second song will not be visible until the song is started. I can't even see the beginning measures during the count-in. And I absolutely must be able to see the first part of the song before I start it. Until this is fixed, I can't use BIAB 2016 onstage.

(Short-term fix: press the keyboard Home key as soon as you load the song - not ideal, but a workaround...)

Thanks for that workaround. I can use it at my desk when preparing songs, but I wouldn't be able to do this onstage very easily while singing, playing guitar, and leading praise & worship, frequently "talking" between songs.

I'll just have to wait for a patch before I can use the 2016 version and the new RealTracks onstage...I hope it won't be too long.

I understand that they are definitely aware of the issue and are looking at resolving now. Yes, hopefully not too long.

I've just tried 432 (and yes, I've checked help->about) and this still isn't fixed.

I played a song which finished on bar 51 with that row at the top of the page. I then loaded a new song and it opened with bar 5 at the top. Hitting play made it jump to bar one at the top, which I think is an improvement, but it really should load with bar one at the top.

So despite this being listed as fixed, there is still some more work to do.

Andy, is it possible to PM me with a link to the song? I could produce some of your issues, but not this one.

I could definitely reproduce the exact problem that you have described, and have reported it to PGM, with details.
