There were over 50 new features added with the Version 2016 release of Band-in-a-Box®!

One of the Chord Sheet enhancements with this release was the "Layers" option. "Layers" are optional rows of information shown above each bar:

  • The Bar Lyrics layer is for editable bar-based lyrics (up to 255 characters per bar) that are loaded and saved with the song.
  • The Section Text layer is for editable text (up to 255 characters per bar) that is loaded and saved with the song.
  • The Section Text and Bar Lyrics layers will attempt to intelligently separate your lyrics into different bars.
  • There is an option to automatically open or close the Bar Lyrics and the Section Text layers when opening songs.
  • The Bar Settings layer shows information about any changes that occur for that bar, as set in the Bar Settings dialog (e.g. tempo changes, key changes, etc.).
  • The Additional Chord Display layer shows the chords using an alternative mode of showing root notes. There are 4 modes: Roman Numeral, Nashville Notation, Solfeggio Notation, and Fixed Do (Italy/Europe).

All layers can be customized with font and color!

Hello Callie,

the layers are a great feature. Is there some way to get them to print on the PDF chart of the tune? I don't see options to enable them in the Print dialogue. It seems like the "Lyrics" layer prints by default, but I can't get any of the others to print.

+1 to the idea of being able to print layers. It would be very useful!
