BAR STYLE PROBLEMS - LARGE control panel OF BARS

Hey all,

as I become good { thanks for helps} at changing STYLES

at certain bars I'm noticing a big problem. THE STYLES AREN'T SHOWING suddenly in the recent styles list. { in 2 areas of the program} Is this a bug? { using 2014 }.

Then the dreaded thing happened -- a style in one of my
sections suddenly was PLASTERED over the Entire song, ruining all my work, etc. ugghhh.......... Luckily I have a previous backup,

but HOW TO PROCEED FROM HERE?

--------------------------------------------

MY REQUEST : would be a LARGE PANEL - NEAR full screen size { instead of squinting into tiny panels} where one could view all styles on various bars, speed changes, etc. at a glance.

Thanks

Have you had a look at the "Memo | Bar Summary" option.

This will create a text file that lists all the changes you've made via Bar Settings.

If you don't have the same view as I do, CTRL+T will switch between standard view and full screen view.

wow Noel96 - no I hadn't lol. Looks like exactly what I needed. At least to get organized again.

thanks much!


With these kinds of reminders -- I should probably go back
to the beginners forum, eh? except I know too much = lol.


Not sure, how to avoid the plastering effect, though......

Glad to be of help!

I suggest you stay in this forum. You're definitely asking questions that are more advanced than 'Beginners'!

I believe CTRL-T had a much different effect in BIAB 2014. You either got just the chord grid, or the standard interface.

And as many have found out, it's a good idea to save often; especially before making any major changes.

CTRL+S will save the song.

With major changes, though, it's always better to use 'Save as' and save with a new name. Then, if the changes don't work out, it becomes very easy to get back to the original file.

By the time I've finished composing/arranging a song, I'll have around 20 song files; each at a different stage of development. Since BIAB files are very small, they take up very little disk space.

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.

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."
