Maybe you misunderstood me. I haven't called anybody a fool, just made a a judgement about the procedure.

That would be really great. I've just ordered the Everything 160 GB harddisk (BTW, is it a 2.5"?) and cannot wait to get it on my hands. Unfortunately the download doesn't work, maybe the servers are overloaded these days ... ;-)

Please, don't make this kind of statements ...

Currently, we have to drag the entire track. Then use the target software for any editing. One workaround is to change the length of the BiaB song, though. Save small snippets as separate songs under a new name.


It would be fantastic being able to select 4 or 8 bars in the BiaB Notation window, copy them to the clipboard and then paste them into a Sibelius track on a desired position! AFAIK Sibelius uses its own clipboard which is not connected to the Windows system clipboard. So BiaB should try to support the Sibelius clipboard. (Until now I was unsuccessful in persuading the Sibelius people to support the Windows clipboard).

So Peter has the program insert a CC7 volume command of zero at the beginning of notated RealTracks.


This seems to be a misunderstanding. I meant BiaB should remove the CC7 volume command (from the data passed to the target program) when the user drops the track.

I always hit the BB Wishlist about items such as this one, though. Over the years, I have lost count of the number of suggestions that I alone have put there that have become additions to the BiaB program. And then there are the great suggestions of many others that have made it to fruition, also. If anything, BB is a labor of love and always a work in progress.


I agree with this. BiaB is a great program.

the workaround is simple enough, exporting the Harmonies as MIDI and importing into Sibelius for edits and such works fine.


I have to add that I hate workarounds ...

Beats hell out of a pencil! (Yeah, I'm that old. When I started scoring, it was pencil and staff and my first work was, of course, as a copyist... )


When I started studying music seriously I too had to use the pencil. My first "hot" contact was a tower with electronic music gear inside and an Atari monitor on the top - it was love at the first sight ... ;-)
