It would be very useful if all sub-windows could be moved OUT of the Mother-one, as is the case for the BigLyrics Window.

As is, it's often difficult to squeeze things down, and move about, windows within a window. Often the monitor screen has room, but it can not be utilized when sub-screens are captive by the Main-One.

Thanks!

Does a dual screen setup help? I mean having the lyrics on the side would allow you to adjust the tracks without having to constantly move that around.

Yes! - in general, but not so much with BIAB. I run dual 22" widescreens - they are great, but with the current BIAB window setup (I don't use RB but I understand the window arrangement is the same) I lose pretty much all the advantages. The only exception is that I can move the lead sheet window to the other screen and see/edit without losing it - BTW, it updates in real time.

I really want scalable windows!

I have FOUR Desktops in the XP and I can see the big lyics on one, and B4 organ, and other thngs I want to have on, but as Lowry says, it's not a solution.

Two screens is better, for I have to hit a key to flip them.

The desktops I make with a microsoft power toy, free.

I'd hope it be not too difficult for the enhancement to be developed, if PG people agree.

The window behavior is a bit non-standard, and I have been wondering at the reasoning behind it. Why keep the minimized icons at the bottom? Is it because PG wants persistance (i.e., retain the data) in the individual windows? Is there a better way to accomplish this? If we have to have the minimized windows that we can't destroy, can we get them to snap to a grid along the bottom of the parent window so at least they stay somewhat organized and take up a minimum of prime screen real estate?

I pull the window I'm using down overtop of them, access for any of them can be gotten to via the Windows menubar anyway.

And I agree, they ARE always in the way down there.

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!

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."
