It would be fine to get an Interactive summary in the PDF manual to simplify the navigation.
For example, in the Table of Contents, you click on Chapter 3: Band In A box 2017, and then you instantaneously go to the page 28.

The same for the RealBand manual.

It's just a matter of linking them, but there should be an easy automatic way, like http://www.debenu.com/products/desktop/debenu-pdf-aerialist/features/create-page-links-pdf/
"Debenu PDF Aerialist can make page links to be created automatically from numbers in defined sections of a PDF. This allows users to create interactive indexes or tables of contents in seconds."
Will look more tomorrow.

I have yammered for years about having third-party specialists properly index BIAB documentation. To say that what exists does not do PG Music's fabulous software justice is a vast, and very kind, understatement.

It is fortunate that a fine community exists to help newcomers who are aware of it to get started, but a damned shame that members must invest time repeating the basics because the instructions are difficult to understand, hard to find, or occasionally nonexistent. Of course, even group assistance is not available for those unaware of the forums, leaving them to figure things out on their own.

O King, hear our plea! Please, please, please: However you do it, do your products justice by providing them with a comprehensive, properly indexed manual.

A program I have used is PDF-T-Maker.
It converts Word Table of Contents, Heading, etc as links into the PDF.
It's a slightly convoluted process though.

To sort the Chapters in Bookmarks just select all pages under a Chapter until the next Chapter then move up into the Chapter.

Someone sent me an IndieBibile and the Table of Contents wasn't linked to the pages.
I thought Oh No my trial of AutoBookmark would of expired, but it still had 18 days to go !
I just had to come here as I forgot how I did the Bookmarks !

Very Cool feature. PG Music also added interactive table of contents to the RealBand manual.

Thanks to Pipeline for finding a tool to create hyperlinks and to PG Music for getting it done.

Am I missing something or is all the excitement just about adding links inside a PDF? What's next? Indoor plumbing? laugh Sorry...I couldn't resist! There must be more to it, right?

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."
