Pardon the bounce ... we are late to the party  “The fence posts lean like they’re tired A crow lifts without a sound A chill that won’t explain itself Settling into my coat And the ground is holding Everything it’s learned Down in Gettysburg” Wow, that is such powerful imagery. Your song reminds us of the mournful feeling we got while visiting the Vicksburg Battlefield Cemetery years ago. We wish we had experienced Gettysburg during our travel years. The vocals, band and mix are standout. (The fiddle solos had a slight hint of Battle Hymn in them for us) Enjoyed it! J&B PS We have both been involved off and on in CW research for years … primarily in documenting the precise routes of Gen. Sherman’s march through our area, i.e., working through all the myths.

Unfortunately music does not bring in the money that sports do in higher ed, so sports will always win out ($$). That battle has already been lost But music is important. It needs to stay too. As evidenced by this thread and many studies ... But what does sports have to do with education? And elderly people having pains and difficulties because of a sports accident in school is so common that it is a common trope in TV, Movie, and Book fiction. Any school that makes its money with sports, and where the coach gets paid more than the other teachers, is simply a sports franchise with a side hack of educating kids. Thanks to music education, I'm making a living doing what I love to do, instead of punching a clock and being a wage-slave for some overpaid corporate head. Sorry for the rant.

BB Mac 2025 must be the most bug-free app ever.... Otherwise what is one to conclude regarding the total lack of any minor or major "fix" release at an all? And yet PG has already released BB 2026 for Windows..... As one says ... WHAT GIVES ????

Bluegrass Picker: Looks like this was fixed in the latest patch released today. https://update.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2026_win_update_build1224.exe Fixed - RealStyles with RealTracks on the Drums track (no RealDrums) would not play a count-in. I just re-tried your SGU file, Dixie Hoedown I downloaded from Google Drive and the drum lead-in works perfectly even with the mandolin in the drum track. Also tested style _BGBDBS8.STY and it's associated demo file and it works perfectly. I now get the lead-in even with the drum track populated with a RealTrack. Joseph Land

I've no intent to detract from the proposed wish but I have a comment and a suggestion. First, I use looping extensively almost daily and for the reasons I mostly use, the looping feature is reliant on immediate startup when I hit F10. I use it for quick reference when searching for alternate chord progressions, building chord progressions, auditioning verses, choruses, bridges, and songwriting. I don't see a situation the count-in is a benefit to any of those applications. The OP lists having time to get prepared with his instrument. Looking at his previous posts, it appears this wish is related to practice. So, the wish is certainly valid for that situation. My suggestion to the wish is if implemented, this setting would be optional. Note to loydb: You can have a count-in and loop currently in BIAB by using the Repeats Feature. The number of repeats allowed varies by the measures set to repeat due to the 255 bar limit but the program flags this if the total bars are exceeded. I tested 13 bars and 15 repeats were possible. This may be a suitable workaround for you until this wish is implemented.

Hi Ron, as always, I love your voice and the way you sing your songs. Sometimes you start with one word, like here, "She," then a short pause, followed by the words "...let me smile." I like that effect. And here, it adds to the cheerfulness of the song. The song itself is truly a typical Ron song! Great singing! The five acoustic guitars don't have the effect you expect. It sounds more like a wall of sound. I think you'd get more space in your song if you took out two or three of those acoustic guitars. I know, that sounds intense. I also have a habit of (wanting to) use a lot of instruments in my songs because I love all their sounds. But after a few days, I listen back and think: "What a wall of sound!" I lose the details of those guitars. Just like I'm telling you now. Of course, I don't know who's right, but there's a saying: "Less is more." Let's make it a good, musical year! Hans Thanks for the nice (happy!) review, Hans! On those guitars, a "wall of sound" is exactly the effect I was going for. For this song, the guitars are more of a jangly texture than anything else. That being said, you only hear more than four guitars for about :40, and there are a couple of sections with only two guitars. The intent was to provide a shifting backdrop while demoing the breadth of sounds available in this RealStyle. May be a fail though...it's still HAPPY! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32214&filename=Screenshot 2026-01-18 173430.jpg)

Hi Bob and Joliz! You have a knack of writing that paints a picture or provides a snippet, but with enough space to be able to read between the lines. Joliz’ vocal provides a constant yet melancholy feel to the music, and I love it when the B3 enters almost like a musical expression of time. Your title is interesting as it is an incidental item that takes on such profound significance in the relationship. Its use *almost* bookends the song. There’s a sadness that the first person ‘I’ wants something different from the second person ‘you’ - their paths intersect at that place but in so many ways, going in different directions. Hmmm. I know it’s a song, but I do wish the best for the first person that he will find someone that will take his heart (if the pronoun is correctly assumed). Andrew

Is it just the Chord Display popup menu, or does the same thing happen with the Fakesheet button next to it? What about other popup menus like the Save As button in the top toolbar? I tried them all, and it is only the Chord Display popup menu. When it pops up on the 2nd monitor, the right side of the pop up window is fixed on what appears to be the exact right edge of the 2nd monitor. In other words, not floating any distance to the left from the right edge. It is fixed also about an inch down from the top edge. It is a "box" window like the layers and fake sheet window, not like a window such as the "save as" window with the x at the upper right. Also, if it helps in your diagnosis, I have never had this popup window situation occur with any other program on this computer with this monitor configuration which has been in service for several years, so I'm not suspecting an OS or graphics problem locally here, but who knows? If you need, I can shoot screen shots and send them over. Whatever would help you I'll be glad to do. Thanks

Nice video. I wish all tutorials were concise like that. For clarity, since there are lots of scales out there like LUFs, it’s helpful to label the scale used. In this case, it’s dBFS.

Ain't no surprise that this is your most popular song. Magnificent everything: production, guitar, vocals. I'll be honest, I don't know the song or who did the original; I like your version, for sure. It’s a Jackson Browne tune from the mid 70’s. Thanks for the very nice comments from the three of us. We always appreciate hearing from you! J&B

Thank you very much, Andrew! I'm still getting used to posting here and noticed there must be a difference between the usual reply and quick reply. You picked up on the intent behind my whimsical melody. I always go with what the melody feels like when I write. Coming up with a tune is the easy part and, of course, I love it when it's catchy and memorable. Words are the hard part. I don't really consider myself a lyricist, I just write words. Yes, the loop is the mechanical percussion. Sofi Berro is the vocalist from FiveRR. I've used her on a couple of songs so far.

Hey, TM. I'm a sucker for smooth lounge jazz and it sounds like you've got it down. The slow contemplative melody is just right...it's still in my head and that's a good sign. Yep, I've found Band in a Box works for all my instruments. I've played guitar since I was 21 and I'm still a novice, so I just use it for composing tunes. Anyway, lovely tune you've got!

As protest songs go, I'd place it up there with the works of Dylan, Simon, Guthrie, and Paxton. This one has a modern vibe to fit the times we are living in. Insightful and thought-provoking, the quiet, reflective mood of the music adds to rather than detracts from the hard-hitting lyrics (as did Paul Simon's "Side Of A Hill"). Thank you for your _really_ nice words, Brian I really like Paul Simon's lyrics and songwriting, so it would be a worthwhile goal to become even half as good as him. That would be a dream...
