Also, in the "Print" options, try setting the printout to "Whole Song". Hopes this helps. Regards, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

Howie Try going under the BB Options menu and hitting the "Return to Factory Settings" button. And, when trying to get a Lead Sheet to print properly, stop wasting ink and paper, use the Print Preview option, it is a true WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get - once it appears right in every way there, then hit the Print button. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

Print it out and write in the repeats etc. I've always had a problem with printing charts correctly and prefer to put in all the markings myself.

OP Oldtimer Enthusiast O Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 52 Payson, Az USA	Thanks for your help Ray, I have also had the same solution as you, there are many tricks to get what you want/need from BIAB. In my case The 2013 version gave me no problem with printing leadsheets with intros, endings etc... so I am convinced it is either a new bug or I am missing something simple in the setup. When I used BIAB 2013, I used ALT W to get to the print service that worked perfectly for me. Howie

I'm not sure how to help you any more over the internet. I've exhausted all options I can think of except for physically having the file.

Noel96 Veteran Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 18,946 Australia	Hi Howie, Thank you for sending me the file. You should have received by email, now, the pdf printout that I obtained. It looked like it includes everything. Please let me know if it didn't. How I set BIAB to do that was ... 1. Select Fakesheet Mode 2. Go into "Opt" (#1) and select "Fakesheet include ending bars" (#2). See image below. 3. Press the "Print" button (#1) and then set the 'Print Range' to "Whole Song" (#2). See image below. To check that it's ok, use the "Print Preview" option as this will show you what the print-out will look like before you print it. Hope this helps, Noel MY SONGS...

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.
