In BIAB - the Staff Roll Mode, I can't delete notes. Right-clicking on a note it opens up the note edit box but the Delete button is missing.

Watching the old video tutorial it show it on that box.

Is this a bug or the feature has been removed?

In the Piano-Roll view, either left click in a single note or drag the mouse to capture multiple notes, and then right-click and select delete selected events:

If VideoTrack's explanaition for deleting notes in the PianoRoll does not work for you, please let us know and we can help you troubleshoot.

I also just wanted to mention that notes can also be deleted in the notation window. Make sure you're in editable Notation mode first, then right click the note and select Delete Note in the menu.

Sorry but my question was about the Staff Roll Notation Mode, not other modes.

If you watch the video tutorial, at the very end it show the edit box and there you can see the Delete button but it is missing in the 2021 version.

Yes, I noticed it disappeared from the Staff Roll Mode note edit box 2 or 3 years ago, but since I had seldom used it wasn't concerned.
My usual method for deleting in this mode is to hold the delete key then click on the offending note. I started using this method years ago because it was quicker when I wanted to delete a series of notes.

Hi Vintage. Thanks for the tip!

Although this works, it's not ideal for me as my laptop it on a stand above and behind my mixer controller, meaning, I have to stretch with my left arm to get to the Delete button. it would be okay for just one or two deletions but not when inputting a complete solo section by ear.

It would be much better to have the Delete option when right-clicking. It would also be better to have consistency across the notation view section.

Thanks again for your input.

I do support that the original delete method should be retained, unless there is justified reason why it cannot still be implemented.

Somehow, I get the feeling that this is more likely to be a ... I forgot to do it... coding. I can't see why a simple button couldn't be included. After all, it was there in the past!. smile

EDIT:
It's still there in the code but but was just hidden behind a listbox so I moved it over to the left
bbw64-TPGEdit3.zip (BB21-839)
See if that works for you, if so I can edit the latest version if they don't fix it soon.

You don't need to rename it just extract it to the \bb\ folder and run.
Code:
object PGEditDialog: TPGEditDialog
...
...
  object Delete: TButton
    Tag = 109
    Left = 304
    Top = 196
    Width = 70
    Height = 25
    Caption = 'Delete'
    TabOrder = 12
    OnClick = DeleteClick
  end

Pipeline, how is it you see the source code?

Is it Delphi?

Kevin, if you’re serious, are you talking about software that would reverse engineer the compiled code?

Matt while there are packages which will decompile an exe to machine code I am talking about resource editors which will take an exe file and report on all resources found in it. It finds strings, images, icons, dialogs etc which it will list in explorer format.

One package by Angus Johnson is freeware and can be downloaded here.

Resource Hacker

Obviously - if you don't know what you're doing don't mess with it.

Yes open the exe in a resource editor like the one listed,
open RCDATA, find the form, edit/modify it then Compile and SaveAs new name.

eda_preview270.zip

To find the name just drag the EDA cross hair target.
It finds the hidden button also that can be moved, but you need to compile it in the resource editor to be permanent.

Hey Pipeline, Thanks for this!

I can confirm that the Delete button shows up and it does indeed delete the notes.

That's a nice utility program. I might have a look at it when I have time.

I wonder if it can resolve the problem within BIAB of not displaying large files list within the Practice applet. A problem that hasn't been resolved since I reported it to PG Music in 2018.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
