Does anyone know it it’s possible to convert the audio and chord symbols in a BIAB song file to some sort of audio (MP3 or whatever) player that displays the chord symbols while the audio file plays. This would be for live gigs.
I realize using BIAB live does this and I’ve been very successfully using it live on a laptop for years, but I’m looking into alternatives for my partner who is far less computer savvy than I am.

Save it as a video would be the easiest way then play it on a tablet, phone or a portable DVD player with a usb port.

I would contact Bandora support. The email address is: support@bandora.com. I looked at the +++ bandora online manual +++ for an answer but the manual did not give an answer. The site says if you have a question, ask.

Bandora is bundled with Forte Pro (notation program). It is a repackaged version of the old Jammer Pro software. I don't know if Forte purchased it, or is just licensing it's use.

I use Songbook Chordpro to display lyrics and chords. It scrolls through the song. I have to add the chords by hand but it only takes a few minutes (once you’re used to it). Very simple and easy to use. Select the song, start the scroll, click on the song file and away it goes.
To generate a new song simply load a text file with the lyrics into Songbook, add the key and scroll time, the put the chords in the correct place (in amongst the lyrics). When playing back the chords appear on a line above the appropriate words.
There are many songs out there on the web already done. (I just generate my own it’s quicker.)

Teunis, Is +++ THIS +++ the Chord Pro program you use? I noticed that in addition to the Chord Pro program there are multiple apps available for both Android and IOS.

If it helps at all, for my PC I use ChordSmith, http://www.statistics101.net/chordsmith/ to do most of the file preparation. Then I email it to my iPad and import into Songbook Chordpro for any adjustments and playback. http://www.linkesoft.com/songbook/iosCopy and pasting and any editing is so much easier on my pc but the playback on my iPad and portable convenience is second to none.

I use http://linkesoft.com/songbook/windows.html similar to the IOS (the IOS version has some extras but the Windows version works fine) I also have a Tablet version but prefer the Windows version (others may not). The LinkeSoft product uses the ChordPro Standard that Jim pointed to. There are LinkeSoft versions for most devices. Tony
