I generated a chord track.
Then, I opened BigPiano and selected the Chords track.
I found some problems.

BIGPIANO can only display the first chord of each bar. The third one is not displayed.

BIGPIANO does not display slash chords correctly

I think it's likely a bug. It's definitely not showing F/G, it's showing a G triad.

I think someone who uses this function should contact PGM. Is the keyboard supposed to show the bass note? I would guess it should so I also think it is a bug.

Just done a simple chord progression with four chords per bar and some slash chords in another bar.
They show and play correct on the big piano, I'm using BIAB 1109.

Your example is showing the wrong notes on the keyboard... what happens when you regenerate?
Does it play this G chord every time it regenerates?

In the Output Chords to Track dialog, next to [Chord Types], check the complex option instead of basic...
See if that helps...

yes. I know.

Something amazing just happened.
When I hit "new" in the BIAB menu
And then re-type it to regenerate the chord progression.

Everything is normal.
