OK, installed new script, but when I try to run the action I'm still getting this:
ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua:145: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Intel\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Scripts\ReaTrak\Song.txt' (No such file or directory)
How do I redirect it to the proper path?

Tried again, and I fear I may have screwed something up :-(
On that note, any idea why I can't locate the Appdata roaming folder via file explorer via the same path I can open via Reaper's "show resource path" ?
In Explorer > Show Hidden Files/Folders
the chord.ttf right click on it Install same for LeagueGothic-CondensedItalic.ttf
You need to go to the bb\ folder that is where Song.txt is
I don't understand what the purpose of the txt file you show is?
My latest roadblock started when it wanted to import a tff file the first time I tried running the BiaB plugins chord script from the docker (and, as you demonstrated earlier in the thread, was supposed to be under the Appdata/roaming etc path).

The Song.txt that you open with "Biab Plugin Chords" will have the chord info in it for Reaper to insert chord regions. If you open that text you will see bar number and chord names.

these will give Fonts in the GUI's
Yay!!! Checking to display the hidden files and folders did the trick!!!
However, I'm not given a prompt re: how I might cure this error by redirecting the path.

I see what's happened you opened a file in the appdata folder so it's set that as the bb Song.txt folder So show the reaper resource path and in the root you will see REAPER.INI open it and search for the line reatrak_bb_folder delete the line or change it to reatrak_bb_folder=C:\bb\ (or where bb is)

This took me waaaay longer than I thought, and I have some stuff to take care of, but I'll be back later in the afternoon to address the other matters.
