Paul,

This would seem to be a repetition of your previous thread.

As I explained in that other thread, the "Load Song Demo" button does not load an audio file. This button loads the CHORD CHART of that audio file into BIAB's chord sheet so that a user can use it with all the chords and settings that PG Music have created with it.

What is happening is that BIAB is not finding the SGU or MGU songfile that is associated with both the audio demo and the .STY file. (It finds the audio file (the wma) and the style file (the STY) but it cannot locate the SGU or MGU file.)

It seems that this as arisen because of the folder cleanup that BIAB 2018 introduced.

PG Music have mentioned that they are aware of this issue and that there is a fix being prepared for it.


Just so you can see what I mean about the "Load Demo Song" button, try this experiment (hopefully it works for you)...

1. Start a new chord sheet by selecting "File | New". This will only have a C chord present in bar 1.

2. Open Stylepicker and find the style ZZBOSSA.STY

3. Click the arrowhead that I've labelled #1 on the image below. If you wait a few seconds, you will hear an audio demo of this style ZZBOSSA

4. Now click on "Load Song Demo" (#2 on the image).

5. Exit Stylepicker and return to the Chord sheet. You should see the chord sheet full of chords now. (It only had a C chord to start with.) These chords are the ones that were used to create the audio demo that you listened to a minute ago. If you generate the chordsheet, you'll now hear BIAB playing that audio demo live.

Hope this helps,
Noel
