Help! I have just updated to BIAB 2017 and I'm just grappling with the new tabbed, less cluttered screen. However, I can't find how to record Midi onto the Melody track. The manual assures me that it is there but I can't see it.
Is it just me, or is this another function delegated to Realband?
Regards
John Lundrigan

Here's what worked for me on PC version of 2017 using a US keyboard.
Select a bar in the chord chart and hit the R on your keyboard. That opened the Record midi to Melody Track window for me.
Crtl T takes you back to the classic chord chart where the Record Midi button resides if the shortcut doesn't work for you.

Thank you Charlie. That works for me too. Where did you find that shortcut? Page 197 of the manual implies that we still have the Record to Midi icon on the toolbar. I have long lost confidence on how well PGM manual updates reflect the version of windows they describe.

From the Classic chord chart screen, when I hovered my mouse over the Record Midi button, a yellow info message displayed the R shortcut. I returned to the new chord chart screen, tried it and it worked...
Glad it's working for you.

At the right end of the Play bar (play, FF, stop, pause) is a faint red button for record.

At the right end of the Play bar (play, FF, stop, pause) is a faint red button for record. That is the Record Audio icon. I think the OP is asking for the Record Midi icon, not present in the new small interface.

Thanks all for the help here. I also unfairly criticised PGM for their manual when I was at fault for not reading the UPGRADE copy which clearly outlined the modes to use. I'm comfortable with it now.

John, thanks from me for that feedback. It's great when we realize (me too) that we overlooked some things, and are able to clarify.
