I'm not sure, but the font sizes for some of the items might be able to be adjusted in a future patch. There has been other discussions on the sizes.

The music seems to revolve like a spinning wheel. That's pretty clever how you did that. Great chorus! Nice slowdown in tempo at the end. How did you achieve that in your DAW? My favorite line: "Truth be told, I’ve told the truth but haven’t gotten nowhere."

Lyrical excellence, my friend. The band arrangement is excellent. Vocal and BGVs sound good.

Thanks, Andrew. You are good at figuring out the chord progressions. It would take me a long time to do that.

Joseph Land: Thanks for your great reply! The plot seems to thicken. I did a quick test using one of your listed styles _BGBDBS8.STY . BIAB 2022 Count-in loud and clear BIAB 2026 No count-in, just jumps into the first bar of the song. I ran out of time this evening and I'll try more tomorrow, but I wanted to let you know what I have found on my limited testing. Many thanks again

Bluegrass Picker: As a fellow bluegrass player, I dug a little deeper into the lack of a drum lead in. I am running 2025, not 2026, and I do not have a drum lead in. I tried it using Coyote and then CoolSoft Virtual Midi (my normal go to one) and tried the using MME, ASIO and WAS with no change. I had no drum lead in at all. Now what I did find, since I am familiar with most of the bluegrass RT styles, was to load the 3 similar styles, _BG_BDFS (Fiddle Solo), _BG_BDGS (Guitar Solo) and _BG_BDMS (Mandolin Solo) and none of those 3 related styles gave me a drum lead in. I am wondering if that is the way they were designed. What I have come up with is this: 1. If the style has a MIDI Drum Track (Yellow), I get a MIDI count in like normal. 2. If the style has a RT Drum Track (Green), I get a Real Track count in like normal. 3. If the style has a RT Instrument Track (Green) populating what would normally be the drum track, I DO NOT get a lead in. I tried about 20 styles and those fitting the description of either #1 or #2, I get a normal drum lead in. However I did find many bluegrass styles where the drum track fits the description of #3, where I do not get a drum lead in. Styles _BG_BDFS (Fiddle Solo), _BG_BDGS (Guitar Solo) and _BG_BDMS (Mandolin Solo) have an instrument populating the drum track and I am figuring that is why I do not get a drum lead in. Here are a few more I found that have other instruments populating the drum track and I get no drum lead in. I am sure there are more. _BGBDBS8.STY _BGBDFS8.STY _BGBDGS8.STY _BGBDMS8.STY _BGFDM_F.STY _BGM_BNJ.STY _BG_BAND.STY Try some of the styles listed above and let us know if you either get a drum lead in or not. I tested these using my own songs and also with the provided demo song, with the same results.

"Ctrl F8 doesn't eliminate the problems I am talking about". I was actually replying to Shawn, but... Have you spent time with Ctrl+F8 method? If so, how long? 2-10 minutes or longer? I used it for many hours, different instruments. Rhythm and soloists, to my taste it is the most powerful tool BIAB has to offer as far as partial regens go. I've used it but not loads, maybe it's something I'll experiment more with. I get a bit irritated with the screen moving around with auto-scroll when zoomed in, something a lot of developers need to understand IMO, not just PG. I'm prepared to try things and maybe I'll find some methods are better when I get used to them, however, I still think the edit phrase is a must have, you can tweak things in ways that can't be done with any other method.

Are the important displays on BIAB 2026, such as chords, BPM, etc., too small? I think this is an important part of BIAB, but the display is especially small. Even making it a bit larger would be much more comfortable. Can it be adjusted manually? Where can I set the size? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32055&filename=2025-12-30_072525.jpg)

We'll add a setting to enable those features in the new Tracks window. Thanks Andrew, that is great news indeed.

@Noel96 Thanks, for showing the extensive steps to get these screens, very helpful If i add now the chord screen and enlarge the bars in the track screen (make songview bigger) , then i can read the chord symbols there too in the track screen used in de chord screen So, this answers my question. The logics of the chord screen can be seen in the track ruler : the fakesheet song structure is translated to the trackview ruler with chords and bar numbers That is what i was looking for., hurray

Thank you, first of all, for showing the complete chord progression of the song. Can chords be entered in the tracks view or can that be combined with the chords view? It's possible to have both the chordsheet and the tracks showing as a multi-view. To do this follow the numbers on the image below. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32053&filename=chordsheet and tracks view (2) 2026.jpg)

Wouldn't it be useful to see all the chords used in the tracks view for BIAB ? Is there a setting for this? Entering chords there too in combination with the Chords window ?
