P.S. Even though I think a strong case has now been made for including this ( mainly by others who are real musicians rather than this hobbyist ), if you would like to see it as well, please throw a post of support.....

Just imagine how easy and very fast it is to enter song with numbers instead of positioning note heads on ledger lines.
|1· 1· |1 23· | Row, row, row your boat
|1 1 5 5 |6 6 5 - | Twinkle, twinkle little star
|1 2 3 1 |1 2 3 1 | Frere Jacques
|5 3 5 - | 5 3 5 - | Barney "I Love You" (aka This Old Man)
Some advantages are :
1. Users do not need to know keys to start writing tunes for any voice range. Tunes written can be played back in any keys.
2. All tunes can be indexed and searched by their number pattern as can be seen above few examples.
3. Printed song sheets can be very compact without any ledger lines.
4. Basically all musics are patterns of notes which can be notated in numbers for fast analysis and learning. eg. notes in 1-3-5 pattern is root major chord.
BiaB is soon going into version 18 (or 2009). This feature could give a big break into the China region market as this number notation system is commonly used there.

PG should re-look into this old request which will add BIG value to BIAB's midi capabilities and markets, especially in China. A big advantage of this Notation system is All tunes can be indexed and searched by their musical number pattern. "An index using the numbered notation allows us to find a song if we remember the tune but not the name. To appreciate that, we can look at an example. A children's song book may have an index like this: |1· 1· |1 23· | Row, row, row your boat |1 1 5 5 |6 6 5 - | Twinkle, twinkle little star |1 2 3 1 |1 2 3 1 | Frere Jacques" Quoted from an "old" website: http://tripatlas.com/Numbered_musical_notationand also found on this Wiki page . Some Jazz standards can be found at The Rousseau Music Book and read the original 1742 explanation of this notation systems by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

A bump of this old suggestion that bring music notation to the masses (compared to the graphical visual nature standard notation). Now there is even an iPad version to play in Numbered musical notation at http://normanschmidt.net/RousseauMusicPad/Checked out a great collections of Jazz standards written in simple key neutral number notation at http://normanschmidt.net/leadsheets.php

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
