I'd like to second this request from September 2013 for the Guitar Window to support non-standard tunings:
http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=214113#Post214113

In my case, I would set it to "All Fourths" tuning (EADGCF), where just the 2 high strings are tuned 1/2 step higher:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_fourths_tuning

By the way, there are some great players using alternate tunings, such as Stanley Jordan and Alex Hutchings (both use All Fourths). There is a growing Facebook "Guitar Tuning in 4ths" group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/183968224067/

Some Android and iOS chord/scale reference apps support non-standard tunings very nicely, and they are a great development, but such support in BIAB would be much more valuable.

A BIAB Guitar Window supporting custom tunings would be a great learning tool.

Nice suggestion. I'm surprised it didn't get more responses last September.

Thank you for supplying more information that supports the suggestion. It helps me to better understand how the alternative tuning can be used.

Adrian Legg also comes to mind, except that he messes up the curve by changing tunings on the fly. shocked

Thanks for the +1 Jim. With 3 of us bucking for this now, the coding wizards and product designers are bound to be swept along by the request! smile

Actually I hope 1) that it might be relatively easy to implement, and 2) that the feature might be of interest to them.

After manually drawing out lots of scale patterns and chord charts, it is a gas to now have them appear so easily on mobile apps which include a Settings option to define (or choose) your tuning. But like I said, it would be something else to have it available in BIAB.

Does anyone know if BIAB 2015 now supports all 4ths tuning? I bought it today but from what I see so far, it does not have this tuning. It would be great to customise the tuning since my guitars are all tuned down a half step and in all 4ths - Eb Ab Db Gb B E

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.
