BiaB still not right?

Try the Options menu, "Return to Factory Settings" - button number 1 first.



Hey Mac, that did the trick! Woohoo. At first it only restored the bar numbers - all the rest of the chord area remained black - but after re-opening BIAB, all looks perfect.

(btw, yes, prior to doing this, I had indeed rebooted the computer several times, even doing a System Restore, to no avail.)

Anyway, while I'm happy the case has been cracked on the black GUI, I'm still concerned about what caused all this in the first place. I'm wary of using the Melodist again, or of accidently freezing the melody track... or of closing BIAB so soon after saving..., or... I'm not sure what NOT to be wary of at this point. Feels like I'm walking on eggshells with this program. I hope one of the techs will chime in after the weekend here, and give some thoughts on what they think might've happened, because apparently I'm not the only one descending into Access Violation Hell on a seemingly random basis.

But thanks, guys, for the input - and thank you Mac for the black GUI solution.
