DS al Coda symbols not printing correctly in Sierra ... 1st 2nd endings print OK, and Segno symbol OK.
However, the Coda symbol is replaced by a large "Fl".

Attempted to select "other" fonts in print option, but that just crashes the programme.

Occurred on Build 143 ... updated to Build 146 ... no change.

Interesting.

The song is an arrangement of "You Go to mMy Head" that I have modified with repeats and DS etc to get it to print on one page as a lead sheet.

It prints fine from the old Windows Biab version 11, which I run under Parallels, but fails miserably Mac 2016 version.

I've attached a dropbox link to the .MGU which you can download if you wish (I tried it downloading from the link ,,, no problems.

Can't upload MGU files to this forum, I'm afraid ...

I've tried other MGUs ... same result in Sierra/Mac 2016

Sierra is 10.12.1 level, and Biab 2016 is build 146

Thanks for your interest.

Thanks. That's a great job you did with this number.

In addition to your discovery when i bring up the lead sheet window there are " missing " letters ( for a lack of a better explanation ). Hope the screen shot makes it clear.

There are obviously some graphical glitches that the PG team hopefully will address/correct soon.

For greater certainty this is happening in macOS Sierra .

I doubt it's a Sierra related issue. I am running BIAB 146 on El Capitan 10.11.6. I downloaded your .MGU file from Dropbox and see the same results (as you attached above) for the Coda symbols.

I tried DS al Coda on a new test file and got the same results. Broken.

(The missing letters in Title sub-fields can be easily fixed by just re-entering the missing letters.)

Hello bellini,

Thank you for your post. We have reported your findings to our developers for their attention. They will take a look at how the DS al Coda symbols are displaying in Band-in-a-Box 2016 as soon as possible.

Thank you all very much for your responses. Very encouraging! (But I'd expect no less from Mac users :}

I shall await the Biab gnomes to address the issue(s) raised.

Mr Mags ... I've done some chord arrangement tuning on the original file I posted if you are interested.

You are also correct re the other graphical glitches ....

Ciao

OK ... 2017 version for Mac appears to have fixed the failure to print symbols, and chopping off the first letter of the name etc.

Thanks for that.

I don't know about you guys but when I go to the zipppyshare site listed Several times above, first of all I cannot get "You go to my head".
What I do get when I hit the back arrow to get out of the site is a warning that my iPad has 6 viruses. WTF has happened twice.
