What is the advantage of using this compared to not..? If you love typing, retyping chords to add pushes, holds or exempt instruments and can remember all of Biab chords don't use it
Is there a way to sample the chord variations..? Just the preview sound of the chord on button click
Any documentation..? Yes click the link below

I LOVE YOU, Pipeline!

Why didn't you PM about this immediately?!?! grin

Editing to add: Should I uninstall the other version first? (I'm always a bit hesitant to uninstall stuff as I've had experiences in the past where it leaves all sort random files and stuff that can end up clashing with later updated versions and give me error messages).

Thanks again!

You can uninstall the old one first but it shouldn't matter as it will just overwrite the files and leave the current settings.ini that may have your custom action buttons you have set up.

Hey Pipeline,

Hate to be a PITA here, but the app won't launch :-(

When I try launch at the prompt upon installing, I get the message in the screenshot, and when I try to launch it by running the exe. (as admin, ofc) nothing at all happens.

B.T.W. Please do not concern yourself with this during the holidays, I'm just leaving this here for whenever is convenient for you at a later time.

Happy Holidays! grin

Not sure what's happening there maybe the antvirus is stopping it ?, if you install AutoHotKey then look in the Program Files\Biab Chord Picker Tool\ you will see Biab Chord Picker 2.2.ahk just run that.

EDIT: you may need to add an exception in the AV for it.
Quote:
When I install the program I get a "CreateProcess failed; code 2." error


This error can occur if you have anti-virus software installed and the anti-virus software is incorrectly reporting that one of the files installed contains a virus. Unfortunately anti-virus software often gives "false positives", i.e. wrongly concludes a file contains a virus. Our software does not contain viruses:

Tried this one and got a similar message (see screenshot) :-(

I really appreciate your efforts Pipeline, and I'm starting to feel guilty for being such a pain.

Do you think that if I hook up the second monitor to disable it the regular app would work then, or is it an issue with my laptop's screen's native resolution/aspect ratio? (I hope I got the terminology at least mostly right whistle )

Thanks again!

Try just running the ahk after you have installed AutoHotKeys or uninstall it first then install it in a different location C:\Program Files\Biab Chord Picker Tool 2.2.1

This one will install in a different location, Windows had a problem with the other as it was installed in the same location and the file was changed it had a security issue.

Download this again and it will now install in a new location with a new name.

Tried and got the same error message :-(

I'm gonna try doing that autohotkey thing you mentioned and see if that works.

Thank you for your patience!

Yay, AutoHotKey was the key, and everything fits PERFECTLY within the display!!!

However, we're not quite out of the woods yet. The CPT will not communicate with BiaB. :-(

That is, in the regular (non-compact) version, it just launched, I pressed on some chords and they immediately appeared in BiaB, and now the BiaB window just "blinks."

Thanks again!
