If my memory is correct Band-in-a-Box 2015 has a chord entry preview window that shows the chord names as they are typed in. When the ENTER or TAB keys are depressed to move the cursor to the next entry cell, the entered chord name moves from the preview window to the current entry cell.

PG Music changed how chord entry is displayed in either version 2016 or 2017. The change was made as part of the ongoing effort to clean-up the space on top of the chord sheet. The preview window is gone and chord entry is displayed in the current entry cell of the chord sheet.
