Money's tight here, and I have not upgraded to 2011.5 yet...
I'm wondering if this version allows the user to cut and paste an entire text file of lyrics into the lyrics window? I know there are workarounds for displaying lyrics, but none of them end up with lyrics that scroll with the song. Last time I tried entering lyrics, I had to manually type them into a little window, and I'm too impatient to enter lyrics one at a time when I already have a text file containing all the lyrics
This is a feature for which I would upgrade immediately

This would be a major issue solver for me also...I have watched every thread about lyric entry with great interest...still no changes. It is so tedious to enter a melody, then attach the lyrics to the melody. I need the changes because I play bass with BIAB and I don't normally enter a melody line because I play it on my horn or sing it. The Big Lyrics window is great for me because I do lots of songs and take requests (never was very good at memorizing lyrics)... And, if you don't do a particular song very often the lyrics tend to "fade" ...Ha!
PG Music, please consider giving this area some attention. When the lyrics scroll along with the changes on play back ... the gig is so much easier.
Thanks!! Ken
Blessings! Ken Hicks

YES! Easier and more user friendly lyric options. This is the one thing that is keeping me from upgrading also.

Pat i find that i can either find a .kar file and eliminate all the tracks except the lyrics and add what i have to it, ot use that file to start with, or last but not least, it is really not that ahrd to type them in once i get started.

Is the technology available that will take lines of words ,from a word processor, and add them to a leadsheet as note based lyrics? That's what I would like although we do rely on fakebooks a lot now.

The problem here is that note based lyrics create an issue since it is not every note that gets a word or syllable. Phrasing in a song can be rather unique. So it is hard for any word processing algorythm, to "know" what you want.

after experimenting for months with adding lyrics to the lead sheet, adding them to the comments window and even adding them by means of other programs, I finally just bought a good music stand and a notebook with plastic page protectors. Now each time I learn a song, I print the lyrics, add the chords and any comments such as "drop D capo 2" I know, I KNOWWWwwww... stone age. But at least I can make the font size large enough for my old man eyes. Quote:

Sonars method of adding lyrics is close to what you want. You can cut and paste a whole song into the lyric screen, and it assumes that each space marks a new note. Since there are always passages of music with no lyrics, the song tends to get out of synch (you run out of words before you run out of song)
But you can keep the timing right by adding spaces during the instrumental passages.
One reason I decided to go with hard copies is for flexibility. If I ever perform songs recorded in a different DAW, I can keep the same method of reading the lyrics. Also I can work on my song lyrics from other computers besides my music computer.

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."
