I would like to see a feature where you can do a keystroke and instantly hide/unhide a pre-defined set of unwanted/unused/unneeded toolbar buttons and interface components.

Control T hides everything except the chordsheet/notation window, but maybe it could be taken a step further and have a dialog where you choose which buttons/toolbars/sections/etc that you want to instantly hide/unhide. That would really make the interface personalizable, while still being able to instantly get back to the full default display.


If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me, and ooh I love you

There is still slim hope that something like this comes along

It's had enormous support from the users, and a few brief comments from the developers.

A few years ago we had that feature in BIAB. Don't know why they ever got rid of it.

As I recall, Ray, it was a consequence of going to the new GUI. PG Music said at the time that further improvements were planned. I hope we can get back to that effort. VideoTrack's suggestions are amazing. I see you commented a year ago about the unwanted icons, in the thread VideoTrack linked to here.

Really nice work on the concept video. Did PG ever respond or acknowledge this?

Thanks JJJ

PG did respond initially. I've contacted them several times since, but unfortunately there has been no reply.

Maybe I accidentally stepped on someone's toes(?) If so, this was definitely not intentional. Like many other users, I also really want to see great improvements in the User Interface, hence the effort I already went to.

Thanks for the continued support from everyone.

Trevor

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
