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.

I can't tell if this is a joke or you pulled a magic trick, or if this already exists, but if it does not exist and you built it, it would be awesome. So, don't laugh at me, but is the second screenshot something already in BIAB and if so where is it? If it is not there, fire up some code man.

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. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=463325#Post463325 David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

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. Code: Button13b5#9: winactivate,ahk_class TBandWindow Send 13b5{#}9 Return 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 Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Biab-Chord-Picker-Tool.png (151.59 KB, 5826 downloads) Last edited by Pipeline; 03/23/18 05:45 PM.

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!

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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/br2rsun384q0qap/Biab%20Chord%20Picker%20beta%201.0.txt?dl=0 The top part creates the buttons and the bottom part sends those to Biab as keystrokes.

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.

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. Last edited by Pipeline; 03/24/18 12:45 PM.
