Audio Chord Wizard missing from Version 2022 (923)
I cannot find where to launch this Wizard. ACW is AWOL

the manual suggests File - Open Special - Launch Audio Chord Wizard is at the bottom of the submenu. Not there in V923

the menu Audio-Audio Chord Wizard opens the Audio Edit window under the Chordsheet
still not the Audio Chord Wizard

the Help link in Chapter 13 incorrectly jumps to Chapter 12
https://www.pgmusic.com/manuals/bbw2022full/chapter12.htm#audio-chord-wizard-standalone
and ACW is not found in chapter 12

Hmmmm. I don't think it's missing. Depending on your display settings, either of these will find it:

thank you for the response. Yes I've used those buttons and they take you to Audio Chord Wizard opens the Audio Edit window under the Chordsheet

I am looking for the larger stand alone wizard with dialog controls, regrettably with the same name.

Maybe the old version has been deprecated in the current BiaB version (I'm not sure on this), however, the original ACW is still available in RealBand 2022.

I tried to use the ACW recently - the extra abilities and facilities come at the expense of ease of use.
Having the .wav editor bundled in with it seems to make that previously simple task more complicated.

Thanks - fixed.

Will look into that. Meanwhile, the "built-in" Audio chord wizard is more accurate and easier to use. Is there something that you could do in the older stand-alone ACW that you cannot do with the audio edit window?

the help url was low bearing fruit, glad you were able to fix that easily.

the core question remains

How does a user open the ACW referenced >> bbw2022full/chapter13.htm#audio-chord-wizard-standalone
in BIAB Version 2022 (923)

I think this is an inadvertent error in the documentation that will be addressed.
