Hi Noel,

Thank you for solving Larry's problem, which in my opinion really wasn't a problem but a bit of know-how which you explained. However, my opening post with the two problems; one with lyric entry and the other with note entry have not been tackled.

I suppose the first thing to confirm is that other people are experiencing the same problem and that it isn't just me and my computer. But really I don't think it is me.

Let's tackle the lyric problem first. Now, every time I try to enter the letter 'r', the program refuses and puts up the "Select a clef to insert a hard rest". It works okay until you get to the first 'r'. For me it is making the Band-in-a-Box program almost useless, because all the tunes I enter have lyrics, which I need to print for my band in Lead Sheet format. i.e. Notes, chords and lyrics.

I would stress that I am using the note-based lyric entry method with my 2019 Audiophile version and a mouse and keyboard entry method. I am a very fast touch typist and I just can't believe that nobody else has encountered this problem. Unless the user base has changed so radically that nobody uses note-based lyrics these days.

My other problem with note entry still exists, which I can overcome with the methods I mentioned in my opening post but that is too time consuming and not a problem I am prepared to put up with.

Frankly, it really is impractical to go on using the program unless I can solve these two problems. I am a week behind with my production of tunes already.
