Grayed out chord entering boxes keep appearing in a chord sheet when I am trying to enter chords. They will then not accept a chord entry, and they are renamed to 16b and 16 will be next to it. I'm sure I'm doing something to cause this and don't know what or how to get rid of the grayed box. Thanks.
OK Thanks guys.... I did that and it will play to that last bar 32 skipping the grayed out box.....but, I still have that gray chord entry box in the lead sheet. I'm sure I clicked somewhere on the lead sheet to cause this, but don't know how to get rid of that bar 16b the gray one. Plays fine but looks odd with bar 32 the last one down on the next line by itself on the left.
Hey! I just visited Notes website and his free song sample has lots of the gray areas I'm talking about. Just figured a picture is better then all my words.

If you have an older version of BIAB, the 'new line each part marker' option is probably in Song Settings. Right click on the chord sheet and select "Song Settings". Have a look through the options that pop up.
I have version 2013. I see if I click on a section marker the gray goes away. That straightens out my "song". Thanks for that!! What I was doing is clicking right on top of the small number 16. That caused that bar to gray but still be bar 16. Now I have bar 16b on the next line down. I'm thinking this might be done to make un-normal song line up or display better?
I just spent some time on your site listening to your songs. NICE!!
OK I found song settings "Cntl N" and I see the box to uncheck and that did it. This was mentioned earlier, but I didn't understand the "sections" wording. Thank you for all your time, patience, and help!!

Something still sounds a bit strange, but 2013 was further back than I remember.
Each time you click on a bar number it should change the color and add an a,b (in newer version it also added a c,d). This will toggle until you return to no color/no letter. These are section or part markers. For each one you place a drum fill with occur in the preceding bar (do you hear that?). So folks like to organize different parts of a a song by placing the line at each marker. Hope that makes some sense.
Sorry I have been away. Yes, the part markers work just as you said Jazzmandan If I choose 1,5,9,13,etc. But see what happens if you click on bar number 11. Click right on top of the number. In 2013 bars 11,12 will gray out and I think that is to line up the sheet the way the author would like to view it.

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.

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."
