156. How do I print harmony parts with Band-in-a-Box®?

You first need to 'convert the harmony' to the Melody track (or Soloist track if you are using a Soloist/Thru harmony). This will write the harmony permanently to the track so that you can see the notation. To do this, you can go to the Harmony menu and select Convert harmony to .. Track. In Band-in-a-Box® versions 12 and higher, there is a feature that allows you to display and print individual harmony parts. Here are the basic steps. After you have chosen the MIDI harmony you wish to use:

  1. Open the Lead Sheet window and click the OPT button to open the Lead Sheet Options dialog.
  2. Press the [Convert Harmony to Track] button.
  3. Choose the harmony part you would like to view/print, from the 'Show Harmony Voice' pull-down menu.
  4. Press the [Print] button in the Lead Sheet window to print out that part.

Band-in-a-Box® 11 and earlier do not have the ability to print individual harmony voices separately, however one thing you could do would be to save your song as a MIDI file (making sure that 'MIDI File Harmony on Separate Tracks' is checked in the MIDI File Options dialog), then import the MIDI file into PowerTracks Pro Audio and print it each track separately from that program.
