Hi again.

There are a few ways to do this. Here are three.

1) If the track is on one of the first seven tracks (these are listed as a menu across the top of BIAB), there will be a line underneath the name if the track has notation associated with (some guitar tracks also have tab associated with them as well).

In the image below, the instrument that is on the Strings tracks has notation with it because the name has an underline. This image is from an older version of BIAB but the principle is still the same.

Other information present in the image is... (a) Bass and Piano are MIDI tracks (because they are yellow); (b) Drums, Guitar and Strings track are Realtracks audio (because they are green).

2) After you have generated a track. Select it and then have a look at the track in Notation Editor and you will see a music score if the track has notation attached to it. This is MIDI-based and it will save as MIDI. In the image below, whatever is on the Piano, Drums and Guitar tracks all have notation with them because the names are underlined. I have selected the Guitar track the notation editor, and it shows there is both notation and tab present.

3) In Realtrack Picker, have a look down that "Chart" column. If there is a "Gt" (like with Realtrack #824 in the image below) then that Realtrack has both tab and notation associated with it. If there is an "N" then that Realtrack has notation attached to it.
