Is it now possible to display more than 64 bars ?
Or say view bars 56 - 72 at the same time ?

I got a bigger monitor thinking that it was possible, but, that did not help still 68 bars. So you are asking a good question.

Are you able to scroll down to see a different range of Bars, as you were asking if you could see bars 64- 78?

That is easily done if you maximize the window you should see a scroll bar on the right side of the window.

You should put this on the BIAB MAC wishlist

Would changing monitor resolution help ?

In version 2016 the Mac and Windows chordsheet windows are the same. Actually the Mac one is better, since it redraws faster so scrolls more quickly with faster page flips.

Yes you can have more than 64 bars at a time. Configure the display options for this. You can set maximum rows and also set bars per row to something like 8 instead of 4 and then you can see twice as many.


Have Fun!

Thanks PG should I do this before I start writing the song. When I convert a song I was viewing in 4 bar per row to 8 bars. In some lines 4 bars are showing chords and 4 are grey bars. Specifically the B parts are showing 4 bars and 4 grey bars. A parts show 8 bars in each row with chords.

dga,

Yes, that's normal. Whenever there's a part marker, BiaB 2016 for Mac treats it as a "paragraph marker" and starts a new line. If you don't want that behaviour, you can turn it off for a single song (Song Settings button), or all songs (Display Options). That feature has been around for a long time on the Windows version, and is popular - it makes a chord sheet more readable.

Think of a song with a 3 bar intro, and then 4 sections of 8 bars each.
Without this feature, none of the sections following the intro would start on a new line.
With the feature, they all start on a new line, and its easy to see that they are 8 bar sections, and they are divided by a thin grey line etc.

btw, you can change these settings at any time - during creation of the song or before or after.


Have Fun!

PG Thanks, I also had 2 B parts in a row and noticed I could click on the second green part marker and it would put the 2 parts together.

Would it be possible to display each section on a new line when in Fakesheet mode? I think that would help it be more readable...

(and thank you for adding xml saving as well as loading!!)

Thank you, Peter and all!

Yes, thats intentional, so there wouldn't be a row with a single bar.
