Note that I made very sure to load tff and not txt, so I have no idea why it's referring to txt in the second error message.

Should I delete all the old ones first?

You need to go to the bb\ folder that is where Song.txt is

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?

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

these will give Fonts in the GUI's

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.

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.

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)

In other words, the script (and it's shortcut) refuse to allow me to browse to set a new location (e.g. C\bb\Song.txt.)

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)

You mean this?

reatrak_bb_folder=C:\Users\Intel\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Scripts\ReaTrak\

Should look like exactly like this?

reatrak_bb_folder=C:\bb\Song.txt
