I have concluded that Chat-GPT has forgotten how to format text files for BIAB. If I export a BIAB file as text and then use Paste Special to create a new file in BIAB all works well. Problem is I know no other music apps (e.g., SMP) which conforms to this text syntex. So I have used Chat-GPT in the past to do the text file formating conversion. It is a simple conversion, and can be done manually, but needs to be done correctly and can be a bit tedious. Chat-GPT always did it with a couple button pushes. But not as of today!

This is how BIAB in 2025 formats the chord chart as a TEXT file.
[Chords]
|a) G F A# C/D| G F / /| G / A# C/D| G / / C/D|
|a) G| G| Em| Em| C| D| G| G|
| G| G| Em| Em| C| D| G| G...bd|
|b) G| G| Em| Em| C| D| G| G|
|a) G| G| Em| Em|end) C|

Here is the resulting Chart when using “Paste Special” to insert the text file above

I just spent 20 minutes trying to train CHAT-GPT at which time I have discovered that my time has expired! mad What! I have to wait and come back later today! Who knew? cry Seems I need to update my license. What license? grin
