An updated version of the Jaws scripts for BIAB is now available. Some of the fixes and improvements include: 1. Improved the speaking of bars and chords during navigation and playback so that this is now more accurate and responsive. 2. Removed the key conflicts with the script Shift+Control+key hotkeys and the BIAB hotkeys in the synth settings dialog. 3. In the synth settings dialog, the Tab and Shift+Tab keys now move between the various combo boxes for selecting the synth as well as the audio and synth effects. 4. Added speaking options for BIAB in the Jaws options tree (JawsKey+V). From this options list you can now toggle on and off both the speaking of special BIAB hotkeys as well as the speaking of bars and chords during playback. 5. Changed the Control+JawsKey+K hotkey so that it toggles on and off the speaking of bars and chords during playback. Previously this hotkey simply muted and unmuted speech for all speech output (as can already be done with Jaws). As mentioned above, this can also now be toggled using the Jaws options tree. 6. The BIAB UI does not respond to Tab and Shift+Tab according to the standard Windows Navigation conventions when in a set of radio buttons. Therefore, I fixed the behavior of navigation in and out of sets of radio buttons so that they now respond properly to the conventional Windows navigation keystrokes. Without this modification Tab and Shift+Tab were modifying the selection in a set of radio buttons rather than keeping the selection the same and moving out of the set of radio buttons. 7. Fixed minor problems with speaking held chords and multiple chords in a given half measure. 8. Updated the documentation in the Jaws help (insert+h) that reflects these changes. A zip archive containing the latest Jaws scripts can be downloaded from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=219099#downloadsThese scripts were developed using BIAB 2008.5 and Jaws 10. Enjoy! -- Pete

JAWS is a screen reader program from Freedom Scientific: www.freedomscientific.comIt works with Windows applications to make them more accessible to blind users. Jaws provides speech output from Windows applications (as well as braille if one has a braille display) so that the user can hear what is on the screen. Although many applications work fairly well "out of the box" with Jaws, the unusual UI of BIAB makes it particularly difficult for blind people to use and navigate. Fortunately, the Jaws application has an advanced scritping language which can be used to customize how particular applications work with Jaws. Since BIAB is used by many blind musicians, another Jaws user and myself have taken it upon ourselves to develop scripts for Jaws that make this very useful program more accessible with Jaws. I hope this ansers your questions. -- Pete

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."
