In the BIAB file there is a "Copy Me" program. Supposedly a piano teaching program. It is supposed to show the guy with the lesson tips when you play a file. But I never see the guy. I just hear him playing the music.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Never have seen this played. But the description does not say anything about a video? CopyMe
CopyMe is an exciting teaching concept for Band-in-a-Box®. Here's how it works: your piano teacher, Miles Black, plays a 2-bar piano phrase along with a Band-in-a-Box® accompaniment. That 2-bar piano phrase is then followed by 2 bars of the same Band-in-a-Box® accompaniment with the piano part silent. This is where you come in... just copy what Miles has played. Once the lesson is complete, Miles explains and plays the next concept, followed again by your turn to play.
With the synchronized audio track you will hear Miles explain and encourage you as each lesson progresses. The notation will be prominently displayed, the lessons can be looped, the tempo can be adjusted to suit your ability, you can even change the key signature to learn each lesson in all 12 keys! What could be better than having your own "on-call" music teacher to explain and demonstrate the lessons.

Thanks

I suspect not many have this program addon. So you may have to take this one directly to PG Support.

Michael "CopyMe" is found in the 'Songs and Lessons' folder in your bb folder. It does not have video, only an audio track (Miles Black talking) that plays along with the MIDI part he is playing and BB MIDI accompaniment. Start by going to File | Open, and load \bb\Songs and Lessons\CopyMe\Level 1 - Harmony\CM1000_Introduction.MGU. After listening to that, you can load the next file with the Shift+F8 shortcut.
