I would like to open 2 instances of Biab and open the same song. One instance I put it on one monitor for the piano and the other instance I put it on another monitor for my trumpeter. For him I change the display of the chords in Bb key ... the beat marker when the song plays, however, advances only in one of the two windows ... the two instances do not remain synchronized. Is it possible to do this?

I think this has been asked before, and I don't believe that there is synchronization across multiple instances.

Others may know more.

Best workaround I can think of is to have the 2 displays mimic each other (one instance of BB running on both displays).
However one of you (trumpeter or piano) is going to have to transpose the chords you see as it plays (on the fly).
Not sure which player would be better at it.

/Being a trumpet and piano player, I kind of assume I would be about the same either way; up or down <grin>
//come to think of it, I may favor reading concert and playing trumpet better than the reverse .. but maybe that's just me

Rharv....yes ... I've always done so until now. I was also thinking of the BIAB VST plugin. In the same way with which the clock synchronizes with that of a DAW it could also synchronize on one instance of BIAB and be carried on the other monitor. The plugin perhaps doesn't have the option to change chords for trumpet ... or am I wrong?

You should be able to change the chord display then save that as another SGU and open it in the Plugin, the Plugin is only syncing with Biab at the moment if you play from the very start,
or you can you save it as a video with whatever chords, saving the AVI the same name as the SGU so when you open the song it will load the video track also and you can put that on monitor 2.

A simple solution might be to print the trumpet score to PDFs and display it on the second monitors. This can be done while having BIAB running.

It's a bit old school, but not everything has to have a technical answer
