Re: bar settings not working properly in BIAB 2026 jcgato98 1 minute ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thank you Mario...I was half asleep at the wheel. When I clicked F5 I was only getting a minimized popup window. Then Catherine from PG woke me up and I maximized the window in order to see it better and guess what?...all the "missing" option were buried in there. Thank you for jumping in.

You are the hero of the day year! I just now followed your instructions and it worked perfectly! It's a workaround and not a true fix and I'll need to modify quite a few songs, but it will get me by until PG comes up with an official fix. At least we have progress, and your help is absolutely sincerely appreciated. Thanks again and have a safe, healthy and great Bluegrass pickin' 2026. BluegrassPicker

Thanks Ray for the feedback. I'm not a Suno expert; I've only been using it for a few weeks. I uploaded the audio version I made with BIAB, where the vocals and lyrics were done by Solaria from Syntesizer V. I put my lyrics in the lyrics section, and for the style, I requested a pop ballad with a singer who has a slightly angelic quality. He gave me two versions, and I kept the one I liked best. The vocalizations were created without my request, and I had to remove two or three notes from the vocals that he had modified because they were out of harmony. Laurent

Hi Scott, An impressive, dark song, with outstanding vocals! And I was also impressed by the sound of the song. I couldn't figure out what instrument made that dark sound, but after reading the comments here, it was a piano, or even a drone. Whatever, a very good song! A happy new year's eve, Scott Hans

I've had a similar problem many times un the past, suddenly, preview chords atopped working for no apparent reason. RTFS or changing the midi / drivers used to solve the problem in most (not all) the cases. It was really annoying.

Re: Bonner plantation search. Guitarhacker 17 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic
A couple of photos. The dogs were in the known cemetery doing some training after the suspected cemetery search. The field with the orange and pink flagging is where they thought the slave cemetery was located. Orange flags are where the ground penetrating radar showed anomalies 2ft down and each pink flagging tape was an individual dog's indication. The digging is on the slave cemetery. They pulled back 12" of topsoil to see where the hardpan was disturbed. They confirmed that they have found the cemetery where slaves are buried.

Re: BIAB 2026, Freeze Icon? saxgh Yesterday at 10:01 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Tested with Build 1220. It seems like everything is working. An other confusing fact was, that songs which were frozen with older BiaB-Versions, had no frozen-icon at the master-entry at the bottom of the mixer. Unused tracks, like the utility-tracks, appeared unfrozen after loading the song and all tracks were showed. The status of the the song was "All tracks frozen". After a new "Freeze All Tracks" the unused tracks were displayed as frozen too. In combination with the bug, that the tracks didn't disappear, the confusion was perfect! It seems, that unused tracks are marked as frozen, is a changed behaviour in younger BiaB-Versions. Thanks for your posts!

A little OT (but only a little)... G-7 was never a standard entry in Finale either. The developers never could understand why those of us who did theater music wanted it to be a default that we could specify in Preferences. Then someone wondered why Sibelius came to dominate Broadway — and MakeMusic still didn't listen. Now Finale is gone. Glad to see that you brought this up and that PGM is listening.
