I do not know how to insert the ties I have shown in the figure. What exactly should I do?

They're called Ties

Follow the pictures should help:

Tip: If the notes started originally on the first beat of the next bar, control-click and drag them into the required beat of the previous bar:

I often understand this situation: I have 2 notes already inserted and I just want to put a tie between them

I think that if you delete the notes in bar 31, you might find that the notes from bar 30 may automatically populate into bar 31. If not you can right click and edit the notes, or just delete them snd re-add them. BIAB will create the ties automatically.

VT also showed how to drag from bar 31 to bar 3o

Yes, Dave is correct.

Think of the notes as more than just 'dots on a stave'. They all have length information also. So you cannot move a note to where a note already exists, and you cannot tie two notes together to make one longer note. You will still have two notes.

So if you want one longer note (as it appears you are trying to achieve), delete either the second or first note, then drag the remaining note to the correct start position, then set the length of the note.

Be careful that if you have the 'Clean' checkbox checked, you may not see your desired result until all of the notes at that position have been extended.

casak,

Like you, I'm just a user of BIAB and, at the moment, I don't have enough time to create a tutorial for you (like the last one).

Until I get a chance to put something together, go to the site below and have a look at the PG Music video called "Entering notation in Band in a Box". It's only a bit over 6 minutes long and might solve your problem.

http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htm

The video clip is in the "Beginners" section.

Regards,
Noel

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.

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."
