Notation will not display properly without this font." I've verified that all of the PGMusic fonts are installed in Macintosh HD>Library>Fonts. I've reinstalled BIAB 2018 and restarted, but still get the same error. What am I doing wrong? I'm running a Macbook Pro with OS High Sierra 10.13.6. Thanks for any help!

You should have six pg....ttf files in your Library/Fonts folder Did you install BIAB onto your hard drive in the default location? You may have to clean up the contents Fonts folder by name to find them — they don't alphabetize in order if you don't. If you are not the Administrator on the computer or didn't grant the proper permissions during the install process, they may have installed in (users)/Library/Fonts. Move them to the correct directory, reboot and that should fix you up. If they didn't install, the Fonts installer can be found in Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Data the file name is bbfonts.pkg Double-click to reinstall.

Running the bbfonts.pkg should do that as well. I think you might just need to quit and restart Band-in-a-Box, since it will load the fonts at startup. Andrew PG Music Inc.
