I have a MIDI track that I am trying to edit and move some parts around. It will let me do an ALT A to highlight all of the notes,
but I can't mark any single note or group of notes on that track. (Same problem with 2024 or 2023)

I can copy that track to a Utility Track, with the same results. Is there some kind of setting that could cause this?
Can a MIDI track be read only?

Anyone? Thanks!

Is you BIAB track frozen? Otherwise, I would say no to that question. Can you send us the midi track to look at it.

First, no it wasn't frozen.
Out of desperation, I muted all of the tracks except the one in question, then exported the file as a MIDI, having just the one track I needed, and then imported the file into the Melody track and edited.

Afterwards, I exited the original MGU file and opened it again and I was able to edit the track in question.
So, still a mystery to me what caused the issue. But now I know what to do, should it happen again!

Thanks, sorry for my ineptitude!

Does this midi contain multiple channels of information or is it just a single channel of information?

It happened the same thing to me. In my case, the midi track is uneditable if i record midi info from the sustain pedal. If i dont record the sustain pedal, all is fine. It took me hours to figure out. Yet another one for the developers to fix. Hope they do.

A second track is often present as it contains performance information. As Jon Thomas has indicated, with some instruments, for example piano, how the notes were sustained is often written on a second and since this information is not pitch-based, it doesn't show up in keyboard region of piano.

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.

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."
