You can see the build number in the "Band-in-a-Box About" menu item.) This adds some new features, such as - looped playback of any selected region - mouse scroll wheel support - ability to have endings use a “held chord”, like C… Build 14 Fixed: Dragging soloist track sometimes said no music available to drop (if there was no RealChart). Fixed: Drum Shot volume bugs. Fixed: Playback misbehavior if a RealTrack audio file not found. Here is a full list of new features and fixes for build 12 Additions: • Added: Looping any region added. Highlight the region (on the main chordsheet), then press PlayLoop button. If you open the notation it will the selected area also. • Added: Mouse scroll wheel support to the Main Window chord/notation panel. • Added: Mouse scroll wheel support to the Song Picker dialog, Style Picker dialog, RealDrums Picker dialog, RealTracks Picker Dialog, Soloist Picker dialog. • Added: Hold chord at end works for MIDI and RealTracks. • Improved: Frozen tracks can now have volume changes applied to them (mute etc.) by f5 dialog at any time (realtracks only) including after they are frozen. • Updated: Support added for newer Styles, RealTracks, and RealDrums. Fixes: • Some RealTracks endings weren't playing correctly. • Possible crash during RealTracks playback. • Bug with saving/loading F5 bar changes which affected builds 9 and 10, but did not affect earlier 2009 builds • Wrong Patch changes were getting written to some RealCharts • Generate Single Track of RealTracks would generate it twice with halfTime/Double Time tracks • Some Bluesy RealTracks (like 751) weren't playing bluesy • Time-offset track mute regions if there are F5 bar time signature changes in a song • Prevent drum shots and pushes "leaking thru" on F5 muted bars. • Remembers CoreMIDI port assignments between runs. • Lost clicks on Toolbar buttons, especially the Stop button if it is clicked very quickly. • Improved: Slight improvements to Realtracks playback timing. • Volume changes (e.g. f5 dialog - mute at certain bars) were not working for generated soloists • If soloist was generated on a blank song, the song wouldn't generate, just the solo would play. • Show all styles button in the StylePicker fixed. • Spurious message "this function cannot be done while the solo is generated" was showing up sometimes. Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

I believe the Windows version does this......it would be really helpful for those of us who have thousands and thousands of songs..... The other fixes are great!

Could help a lot of people who don't actively browse the forums and stuff. But I'd rather have the Open Song Title thing first ;-) Musician, Polymath, Google Jedi, Apple Master, Windows Wrangler and Digital Wizard. High ratings in Nerd-fu & Geek-fu.

If I make a bar with 4 chords and turn on shots for all the chords, drums are only heard on the first beat. Shots generally only works with drums, if inserted on the first beat. I had a backup of build 9, and here the shots work OK. iMac M1 24" 16GB/1TB/ Sonoma
