Close your eyes, and imagine: A BB "Main Screen", with the song info and tracks at the top, and the bars and chords of the arrangement below.

I want to render that to a PDF.

Does anyone have a way to do that? (Aside from the "inspiration-killing Print Screen/paste image into Word / Save as PDF" method?)

Hey, Pipeline -

Thanks! I'm on the Dark Side of the Force (Win 10), but will investigate!

Thanks Pipeline: thanks for the links.

I tried 7Capture, didn't quite work for me. No help file at all or ReadMe. Deleted.

I'm trying PDF24 but .... (a) it wants you to create an account AND (b) it wants all your information including address, phone # etc. I deleted the account and sent an email asking if I can still use the software without the account.
ADDED: just heard back that you can use the sw without creating an account.

Went to Win2PDF site, and to purchase is $45.xx, too expensive for me.

Re: isksoft, just had a look at the web site, haven't tried it yet.

Thanks
DE

I wonder if this might be a Wishlist request for PG Music to add a Print option that would list the song and track info etc. at the top, and then the printout of just the chords. Since you can already print just the chords, it seems like it might not be difficult to do.

I went to all the trouble of finding the pdf save but I just noticed the one I use has PDF save http://www.irfanview.com/ and it's free, make sure you get the plugin pack as well.

You can PrtScrn (Alt+PrtScrn for window) > Irfanview > Ctrl+V
or while Irfanview is open press "C"

Crop > select area in image > Ctrl+Y

Color Adjust > Shift+G

Color Adjust area > select area in image > Shift+G

Text > select area in image > Ctrl+T

Paint Tools > F12

Resize Image > Ctrl+R

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.

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."
