Today, (after updating to build 437) I find I can no longer enter Sus type chords. It just keeps the original chord or blank cell and moves on to the next when I try to enter a Sus chord...Right clicking a cell and the sus type chord generates the message, " error in chord C sus. It's ANY sus though. They don't work anymore after the update.
I am sure there must be a fix or patch to help...I hope?
Thanks!☺

bfe, Build 437 is working fine for me. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I notice above that you've typed C sus (with a space between C and sus). If you do this in BIAB, it will not recognise the sus... it needs to be typed Csus or Csus4 or C4 (no spaces). Another way of entering the chord is to go to Chord Builder (right-click on chordsheet) and simply click on the revelant notes and names.  Hope this helps. Regards, Noel

Thanks but, no...I don't put a space and there is the error message too. I shows what I type nowadays too. Good thought. Thanks again.

As a double-check... what happens if you use Chord Builder as shown in the image in my previous post?
Also, what happens if you type C4 or Csus4 (since Csus = Csus4 = C4)?

Thanks, I CAN enter C4 and it works... and entering Csus2 works. Can't type sus4 anymore perhaps.
It will also refuse to change a previously entered C to a sus whichever way I type it though. Something has changed.
So I have a workaround thanks to you for now. I may have to see if I can remove the update and re-do it.
There may be more odd things that appear as I work on this song so I will come back within 24 hours and let y'all know what happens. Thanks again, amigo.
Peace.☺

Oh, Also...when I click the Sus as in your chord builder image...that's when it says "Error in Sus chord". ( A pop up window ).
Gotta go now back later.

I have the same BiaB version and everything works fine here also. Csus4 becomes Csus here. No problem as they are the same chord and in fact I have rarely seen a Csus4 in print. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen its just that I don't remember seeing it.
Csus2 works fine here also.
Clicking on Csus in the chord builder works here also, i.e. no error message and I get the right chord.
The above works fine on both MIDI and RTs.
It might be time for a return to factory reset.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Funny it would happen right after an update, but Mario is right. Try Return to Factory Settings. I would also reboot first and check.

Hi,
If you go to Options - Preferences - Display, is the box marked "Display 'sus' as 'sus4'" checked?
If it is, then I get the behaviour you described, and have to type Csus4, not Csus. If I uncheck that box, then Csus works again.
Thanks
Kent

If that's it, then perhaps the prompt should say Display & Enter as ...

Yes, Kent the "Display 'sus' as 'sus4'" is checked. So is Display 2 as sus2. I will maybe try and uncheck those. That might work! For now what happens in summary is: typing csus = nothing typing c2 = nothing typing csus2 = nothing maybe not supposed to anyway. typing cadd2 works typing c4 works and displays c4 typing cadd9 works typing c7sus works So... I can get the chords, just a little differently and Chord Builder displays "error in chord csus and c2' when checked. I can live with this. My brain just thinks csus and it likes that...c4 is a little faster to type. I end up having to explain c4 as a chord to folks sometimes. (Plus, I carried the other C4 in the USMC so it looks all wrong...  Cheers and thanks amigo! UPDATE: I unchecked the boxes, Kent...seems like it's back the way I remember things...I CAN type csus now and see that entered and displayed in the chart...maybe a gremlin got in here the other night when the window was open.

Just in case you miss it...I updated my post Kent, thanks very much for the help. Got it back the way I remember and I can enter Csus instead of C4 so I'm happy with that. Good job!
Cheers.

I am having a similar "Error in chord" problem when I try to enter sus chords with Build 438 of BB Windows version 2016 : There are two bugs that seem independent: If: Options>Preferences>Display> 'Display 2 as sus2' box is checked, then: the Chord Builder will pop up an error message "Error in chord C2" when C2 is selected. and If: Options>Preferences>Display> 'Display sus as sus4' box is checked, then: the Chord Builder will pop up an error message "Error in chord Csus" when Csus is selected. Unchecking these boxes in the Display Preferences dialog is a work-around for both problems. Maybe this can be addressed in an update? Thanks, Brian Yes, Kent the "Display 'sus' as 'sus4'" is checked. So is Display 2 as sus2. I will maybe try and uncheck those. That might work! For now what happens in summary is: typing csus = nothing typing c2 = nothing typing csus2 = nothing maybe not supposed to anyway. typing cadd2 works typing c4 works and displays c4 typing cadd9 works typing c7sus works So... I can get the chords, just a little differently and Chord Builder displays "error in chord csus and c2' when checked. I can live with this.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
