Update
Fixed copying and changing chords with pushes hold shot rest and long chords e.g ^^C13sus#5b9#11,G13sus#5b9#11...db so you can change the push from 16th to 8th or 8th to 16th, add/remove rest shot hold, add b,d,p,g or s to the rest shot or hold or remove without having to re-type the chords.

Pipeline, I've been swamped with concerts and am just catching up with your very generous offer of this chord picker tool. It somewhat resembles my notation software.

I'm wondering, before I load and try it, is there some basic description of what it does and why, and where to use it? I must not have seen that. Thanks.

Everything is done with one click, no typing long chords, no typing, you can add or remove shots, pushes, holds and rests without re-typing.
In the Tools tab you can add your own custom actions to do complex things with one click without having to navigate through a tree of menus.

It is also helpful for those with a disability and can be used on a touch screen.

You can even add your own pic to it:

Hi Pipeline,

Can you help me?
I have downloaded your Chord Picker Tool.
I also downloaded and ran AutoHotkeys by clicking on the ahk file.
I can get your Chord Picker Tool to open onscreen,but, it won't place the chords I click on onto Band an a Box.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have placed Chord Picker Tool into my documents folder, does it need to be installed somewhere else?
Please help.

George

Do any of the other buttons work like View-Small ?
You can also right click the .ahk > Compile, to create an exe.

Hi Pipeline,

Got it working now!

Opened BIAB first then ran the ahf file as administrator and it works.

NOTE: I tried the view-small and it worked but when I click on the normal/compact size it doesn't return to full screen.

I am using the 2018 latest patch and also windows Pro 64bit

George

Great you got it working.
Normal/Compact is just Ctrl+T I can put a full screen button under the View-Small if that would help.

Hi Pipeline,

You de man!

Thank you so much for adding the full screen button and the hide show button, Works a treat!

Can I ask (as a person who hears music rather than reads music) if you could place a button that would allow (for example)
If my key was D, what are the chords that I could use (suggestions that would be appropriate) for that key in my song.

I don't understand the circle of 5ths so any help your program could give would be brilliant.

Thanks once again Pipeline.

George

P.S. I like that you have added a txt file so that people know about running as administrator.

This is already there! Click your key on the very top bar and it shows you the chords in that key, both major and minor!

Never knew that, so simple just love it even more.

This will help me in my song writing path.

Thanks

George

P.S. When you have recovered grin and have time, a short user manual wouldn't go amiss.

Thanks a lot for this brilliant addition to BB Pipeline...

One question; If PG Music offered u a job in their company, would u say yes?

Will strongly recommend PG music to do that..;) I think BB would strongly benefit from it...

The advice and ideas I post are free to be used, there is a bit of a time warp between PG and Me, the ideas might get used eventually but if so 10-15-20 years down the track.

This looks like a fabulous addition to BIAB.
Well done on your part - it seems users are happy with it.
I'm happy with my 2011Pro version - will this extension work with that version?


Cheers
