Currently to change Part Markers in a song, it is done in the Chord Sheet.

Since the Part Markers are visible in the new Tracks View, in the example I've shown that uses a MultiStyle with nine different style changes, I've edited the first Part Marker to replace the Saxophone of the style with silence for the first eight bars rather than audio editing. This type of changing an arrangement can be done quickly using Part Markers and is a common function of BIAB, particularly when using MultiStyles.

It would be beneficial to be able to add Part Markers, remove Part Markers and use Part Markers to create new arrangements from the Tracks View.

The request is to make Part Markers editable in the Tracks View.

Not only part markers, it would be great if chords could also be added / edited from the tracks view.

Jp.

i like your thinking outloud jp.

With clever design/upgrade of new tv it could replace ...
chord/audio edit/mixer views.
as ive said before in betas it would be fantastic to make new tv a musos central creation zone...would save lots of time flitting around different views menus and dialogs which often frustrates me.

to add to your views let me suggest..

..tempo track
..lyrics track
..maybe a special track for telling bb based on style to create drum fills and/or solos...instead of the fudge where i put
part markers all over a special chord sheet.
the above tracks could be hidden when user doesnt need them.

im assuming also a chord track like some daws have.

as i said with above the chords n audio edit n mixer views wont be needed. simplifies things also for new users.
same idea for realband...make rb tracks view a musos work center so a new user sees similar workflow between bb and rb.

happiness.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
