I want to print out the notation for the tracks on my songs. How?

The best way is to Export the song as a MIDI file or a Music XML file. Import that into your notation program. You will find the Export function in the File, Save Special menu.

BIAB has a print function with options, for a rougher printout.

I don't know what your level of experience is with notation software.

[How did you make out with your other post about not hearing tracks?]

By the way, the notation for RealTracks, if that's what we are talking about, is there for educational purposes. It contains none of the nuances of the performance (unless it's a piano track, which was likely recorded directly from a digital piano). There's more to it, if you would like to tell us more about what you are doing this for.

For the other post I contacted support via Chat. They had me do several things that didn't work. What worked was re-installing Coyote.

For this issue I'm wanting to print the parts I hear for the style I've chosen; in particular the guitar part. I want to see the chords that are being played so that I can practice them and maybe edit as well. Will your instructions accomplish this?

That's a maybe. If the style is a realtrack you should freeze the track so what you see is what you hear.

If the realtrack you want to view does not have a line under it then that is where the maybe comes in. To get that audio track to a MIDI track you will need to convert it via a program like Melodyne, which is expensive. Note you will need the polyphonic version of Melodyne or any other conversion program.

If the realtrack has a line under it or if the track is a MIDI track then yes you can do it. Export the track as a MIDI track to your computer. What happens next depends on you:
1-if you can read music you can import the MIDI file to a notation program; Musescore is a free notation program.
2-if you can't read music and need tabs you must convert the MIDI file to a tab file. There are free MIDI to Tabs programs on the web.

I hope this helps and good luck.
