Hello PG Team, I would like to report a bug in BiaB version 2026 (2026.0.1002) that, in my view, seriously disrupts the workflow. Could this perhaps be an issue that only appears on my setup (Intel iMac 2019 running macOS 15.7.5 (24G624))? Specifically, when entering data in the Chords Sheet, the Return key no longer moves to the next field, and the Backspace key no longer deletes an entry. This means I have to click on every single field with the mouse each time. If this is indeed a bug, I would appreciate a fix as soon as possible. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Nomi

I agree: names are important, Andrew (and not Andy, I presume). Just call me Brno, that's my artist name.

Thanks, Marty. My producer name Arri comes from arrangement, because I like most to make new arrangements of old songs with BiaB and Reaper. Finnish musicians shorten it to "arri". My real name is Esa Blomberg. Esa comes from Bible name Esaja, first son. My account name Brno comes from my old nick name Bruno. Which name would you prefer I use? I want to be respectful, and I know people’s names are important. Andrew

Rob, Thanks - we appreciate the kind words. I also worked as a radio announcer/personality back in the late 70s & early 80s. WALK 97.5 FM and 1370 AM. I also did a brief stint at WRIV 1390 AM, which was a sister station to WALK. All located in Eastern Long Island, NY. Hard to believe it was so many years ago! Thank you again. Bob

Thanks for this post. I've been wanting a hotkey or other easy solution for playing a song from the beginning without having to use the space bar. "F4" is the solution that I "discovered" from the pdf in your post. Until now, when I'm creating or modifying a song, I set the preferences to press the space bar to blank out a chord. Then I have to use the mouse to go to the start and then click on the transport to play the song. At some point in time, usually when done editing or creating I change the preferences back to press the space bar to start the song. I've always thought there has to be an easier or more efficient way to do my thing, but now I know that there is. F4 starts the song at the first bar no matter what the space bar preference is set to. That makes it much easier and more convenient for me. Thanks for your post. Very much appreciated.

Hi Michael. The easiest way to spread the 6 notes over the 4 beats is to use microchords and arrange their timing as shown on the image below. Right-click on the chordsheet to access microchords. On the image below, I have used a C chord (your chord may well be different). It is also necessary to set each beat to "triplet". (Note: Background and Soloist Realtracks do not work with microchords.) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32567&filename=two quarter note triplets in 4-4.jpg) If you do not feel comfortable using microchords, the PG Music video below will help. Regards, --Noel Audio | My latest song using BIAB (2026) and Synth V’s ‘Ninezero’ vocaloid: Take Today And Make It Mine

Doing a Clean Install of the shipping version today (it's been years), I ran the installers for a number of old add-on packs, (I go back to 2016). Some of these ship with the current version; others need to be installed from our purchased downloads. All of my old Installers worked perfectly but… It occurs to me that all of these Installers all require Rosetta 2 to install onto my Studio M2 Ultra. While this will not be an issue till 2028, it will be then. Yes, we legacy users will be able to drag-n-drop from old Macs or external drives or whatever but new users will not be in the same boat. Need to set a calendar alert for two years from now to bring this up.

I am not using midi. Just real tracks. Take “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”. Beatles. The outro has a measure with four beats using quarter note triplets. Can that be done with the Real Tracks which are used in the arrangement?

Rob, this is INSANELY good! Super arrangement, GREAT harp playing and AMAZING vocals+scatting. The musicality of this is off the charts. Just SO playful and fun, and full of...FEELING. Happy feeling, too. Which is in SUCH short supply. Love it! Well, I would let that last note decay naturally a bit longer. But at least you know I listen all the way through, right? Ha!

Could you be more specific please? If you mean, can you write notes in the Melody or Soloist or other MIDI tracks that are quarter-note triplets, then Yes. In the Editable Notation Mode, there are some settings for Swing versus Straight feel that affect how the notation looks if you want to know more. Likewise printing views. If you mean Playable RealTracks, let us know. If you mean something like a 3 on 2 feel having to do with certain styles and key signatures, let us know. If you mean something else, please elaborate so we can help.

Very cool, Bob. Great imagery, a gentle hook, fantastic vocals. Especially love the choir-like harmony parts by Joliz. The backing track is SO perfect. It cradles the song very gently and sounds crisp and clear without being flashy. Just a great sound all the way around...
