I am trying to enter the notes and chords for Huron Carol. The sheet music I am copying from has a B flat and an E flat in the key signature. I selected the key of Gm on BiaB and entered the notes. Then I started entering chords. The second chord on the sheet music is A#, and it occurs above a b notes. As soon as I enter the A# chord, it changed the b note into an a#. I realize b flat and a# are the same note, but it also changed a bunch of other notes to things that were NOT the same. Besides, I want it to say b, not A#.
I'm really confused. I know very little about music theory.
All I know is I don't want my notes to get changed!
EDIT: I entered the B flat chord instead of the A# chord, and it is not changing my notes now. It it the same chord?

Yes, that is what’s called enharmonically the same.
BIAB does make decisions on chord names and accidentals based on the key signature, which in your song is Bb (same as Gminor).
In the Editable Notation Mode, you can right click on a note and specify the accidental (sharp or flat) you want.

That is good to know. I entered "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem", which begins with e,e,e,d#.e ... The music looks less confusing with a d#, since no natural sign is required on the next e. Also I'm making a play-along for chromatic harmonica, and as a beginning player I find it less confusing to play a sharp than a flat, since pushing in the slide button gives you a sharp. But Band-in-a-Box insisted on making an e flat. Unfortunately I had already made a video and posted it on youtube before I saw your post. Here it is: https://youtu.be/rWMYxQd7yn0 It should be easy enough to make the change and make a new video, but I'm having trouble with my BiaB hard drive. It keeps cutting out. I've only had BiaB for a few days. I got the pro version first, on a thumb drive, which I installed on my computer. Then after a few days I bought the Ultra pack, which is on a portable hard drive. I think it has a loose wire in it. I can't get through to anyone on the phone, and soon everyone will be on holiday :-( I have saved some songs on the portable hard drive, and it refuses to let me save them on my built in hard drive! So if I have to send it back and get a new one I guess I can't get those songs back.

Before you send it back here is a couple of things to try.
1- If you are using a Window OS go to the device manager, click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, then from the drop down menu right click on each USB hub/properties/power management and unclick allow the computer to turn off this device etc. With this on (a check mark in the little square) allows the computer to shut off USB ports, thus stopping anything plugged into it to stop working.
2-With a small screwdriver take apart the BiaB external hard drive case. pull out the hard drive then plug it back in and reseal the case. Make sure you do this with the the unit unplugged from the computer. Sometimes the unit gets jarred around during shipping and the drive becomes loose and has a bad connection. I have had to do this a couple of time myself.
I hope this works and good luck.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
