I might be able to make up circle chord input for BB with Lua script. So it has the radial menu you pick > Scale type > Key > Chord
If you think it will be usable ??
You could also make a picker with All chords or Key. You could just have arrows to move the BB cursor and a comma check box for chords on the next beat.
See Songwriting Forum and my latest post of 15 minutes ago.
Herb, you kinda beat me to it thought wise, but I think music wise Tater Totts was hoping his new song Circle of Fifths would put an end to all this silly talk so people can just get back to writing themselves some great country hits.
Thanks to Two Socks, Mario, Dave Cuny, Herb Hartley, Pipleline and Floyd Jane for teaching me everything I know about the Circle of Fifths and writing a great country song.
The chords are copied in order from the PG website, there are some duplicates. The dim gives dim7.
Use the Bass, Drum, Piano.. buttons to set the instrument/s to play over a Rest, Shot or Hold Use the < > to move or use the keyboard arrows. Use - for a comma between chords. Use / for slash chords.
It should just run standalone, any problems just install AutoHotKey you can also right click > Properties > Compatibility > Run As Admin
Creating your own GUI:
I included the script, to edit it use SciTE4AutoHotKey or Notepad. To create a GUI use SmartGUI then open in SciTE4AutoHotKey to add the the hotkeys.
So for each GUI Button you create e.g 13b5#9 put the code at the bottom,
this will send it to the Biab window, { } are used to send some special characters.
You can use the GUI to do any Biab function by adding a button to send the shortcut keys or keystrokes to access the menus etc... If you have AutoHotKey installed just right click the script.ahk > Compile, this will create the GUI.exe
I appreciate all of your hard work man, more than you will ever know, but I don't know anything about programming and I am terrified of testing executables that have not been tested for fear that they may cause something to crash, and I won't have any idea to fix it.
I would prefer to use this when someone else who is more computer literate than me has checked it out and verified that it is safe to download, install and run, because again I am a moron when it comes to this domain. Also, I am pretty sure my Norton config will delete this the moment it sees it. But again, I just don't know enough to say.
Thanks for all you do man!

Just install AutoHotKey then double click on the Biab Chord Picker beta 1.0 script.ahk and it will run without having to use the exe. If you open the Picker beta 1.0 script.ahk by dragging into Notepad you will send it is just simple text, OR instead of downloading you can copy the text below into Notepad then save as My Chord Tool.ahk and it will run when you double click it:
Thanks. I have limited technical knowledge of this sort and have no idea what any of this means.
I think I will wait until someone else on the forum who knows more than me has tested it out and can explain it to me so I don't fear clicking on anything.
My apologies but I am super sensitive to intrusions or anything that might harm my computer. I have no idea what you are talking about and do not speak this language.
I will let someone else beta test it and tell me when it is ready.
Thanks for all of your effort and hard work.

To use Biab you need to be switched on, so I would say you are already there !!! There's a song and lyrics right there, being brave to "Take the First Step".
You know life's not always easy There's always a hard road ahead But I'm gonna be brave Yea I'm gonna be brave To take the first step
I could create the chords up also with the chord picker if like..
I would put a Hold just before "To take the first step", so hit the chord button then the Hold button, then bring in the guitar solo.
Cool stuff Pipeline. I used to use AutoHotKey on a server to have it launch an app and click on specific options on the app with programmed mouse clicks.
