BIAB, Open the Help menu, choose Index, type shortcut keys and there you go. Also go to PG Music, select Support tab, then choose Videos, there's a video on Shortcut keys.
Thanks for the reply, but that isn't what I was hoping for. I'm aware of the chord shortcuts, but what about keyboard shortcuts for editing and copying, e.g., typing "K" followed by enter copies the last 8 bars to the current position, etc? Having a list of those would be very helpful. Is there one?
The latest Update Build 381 contains the new Full Manual in .pdf format.
Look inside your bb folder for it.
In the all new Manual, hit ctrl-f and type in, "keystroke" to rapidly search thru for all the mentions of Keystrokes, to include a listing all in one place.
But even better, the Keystrokes for shortcuts are now also pretty much all listed "by the function" throughout as well.
Also pay attention to the Menus when you look for a command, may of the Keyboard Shortcuts for functions are listed just to the right of the function description in the menus.

Hi Mike There have been two releases of Build 381 in the past few days. The first, dated 10-March and labelled 'Beta' did not include the manual, the second, released a couple of days later, (but still dated 10-March) is still labelled Build 381, but not Beta, and does include the manual.
Please download from the link again, and reapply the upgrade.
Hope this helps Regards Trevor

you'd think by now i should have learned not to question mac
i thought i had checked everything including the date on the original 381 file which i downloaded and installed on the day it came out!!!
should have just gone ahead and redownloaded before posting
somehow i missed the post that indicated the update of 381 and the removal of the beta tag
all is well now

Question me at every turn, my man, that's one of the methods by which I LEARN new things, just be prepared for logical argument rebuttal unless and until I can be shown something to be otherwise.
This new Manual is hot stuff, put it on your .pdf reader if you have one, paperless office and all that, I'm learning all sorts of stuff about Band in a Box usage right now.
We have each made lots of mistakes, though well-intentioned at all times, so always keep questioning. We are all improving constantly.
This 'beta' update has a history that is not consistent, as I have pointed out. In my opinion, a new or even improved update warrants a new build number.

ah yes pdf history of pdf i keep the pdf manual open when using software and yes having the ability to store them on portable devices for reading away from the computer is great
options i like the advanced search ctrl-shift-F and items under the comment tab on the far right like add sticky note ctrl-6
sometimes a pdf manual is locked this has proved useful in that situation pdf unlock

User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
Wir waren fleißig und haben über 50 neue Funktionen und eine erstaunliche Sammlung neuer Inhalte hinzugefügt, darunter 222 RealTracks, neue RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, "Songs with Vocals" Artist Performance Sets, abspielbare RealTracks Set 3, abspielbare RealDrums Set 2, zwei neue Sets von "RealDrums Stems", XPro Styles PAK 6, Xtra Styles PAK 17 und mehr!
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
