The song picker window has changed for 2019. I use this window all the time. I even have a foot pedal that activates it between songs to save on reaching for the laptop. The new window when opened now has fewer songs in the main window because there are two sub windows at the bottom. Is there a way to get rid of these two smaller windows....one a summary of the selected song and then other that is labeled "open special"? I want the old full page song picker look.
Plus.... and the MAIN thing.....once I finish a song and hit the song picker....it comes up with the current song highlighted. As it always has. But I now have to scroll through to the next song. Before if I played say... Against the Wind....finish that song and hit the song picker and i want to play say... Yesterday next.....all I had to do was hit the "Y" on my keyboard and the song picker would jump to the first song that begins with Y. And it would be a short scroll from there. Now it doesnt. I have to search or scroll. With 1200 songs in my song picker....that takes way too long. playing live this is unacceptable. And a deal breaker if I cant get the old picker functionality back.

I agree. In an effort to introduce an improvement, there have been several retrograde steps introduced.
No longer does column sort work, and there is no way to quickly navigate to a song title.
These could easily be resolved though, I'm sure.
Over to the wish list.

I'm getting frustrated over a similar problem. When I use the Song Picker, I want its cursor to stay where I left it, and not reset itself all the way back to the beginning of the song listings, which is what it's doing. I've looked all over the interface, trying to find some command or setting that will freeze the Picker so it won't move until I tell it to move.
When I read a book, I do not open the book to the first page every time I open it. I open a book to the page where I left off. I want to be able to do the same thing with the Song Picker, but so far I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Hey, the Style Picker does it -- sort of. It stays with the last style selected, although it might have moved a page away. But having to move just a page to start where I left off is a lot better than having to scroll through a few thousand song files. And yes, I have thousands of BiaB song files.
If this capability doesn't exist in BiaB, it's about high time it did.

Seems I am doing that in the Style Picker as well trying out 100's of styles I have to try and find where I left off.

Brian, in earlier versions of BiaB (earlier than 2019, that is), there was a drop down where you could select "always" which would keep your place for you. In 2019, I think it's been changed, but it's still there. Hit the Action "button" then go to Set Dialog Options, then there's the second dropdown, which defaults to "sometimes," and which works as long as there are no conflicts, I guess. This can be changed to "always," so that the current style should be shown no matter what. I'm thinking that should get you there. It would be nice if we had such a selectional choice when it comes to the Song Picker.

My mouse has a scroll wheel (doesn't everyones?). Well it don't work in the Style Pointer or the Song Picker? Is it just me? edit Hold everything. Now it does! Maybe when a song is playing it doesn't work and when the song stops it does work. Who has time to figure this all out?

Thanks Michael, I remember I used to have it set that way. I have set it back to factory defaults a while back so perhaps that got reset. I have never used that action button I guess.
