BiabPluginChords-StudioOne.zip Place the BiabPluginChords.package in the Scripts folder in the Studio One install directory, restart Studio One in the Biab plugin make sure you have unfolded the song sheet with the down arrow at the bottom right of the plugin window, now save it to SGU and reopen the SGU insert a chord at bar 3 and make the length as longest chord change, say 4 bars and select it in Studio One Event menu select > Biab Plugin Chords browse to the Biab folder select Song.txt if you are not using a 2 bar count-in select the first chord then ctrl+A and drag to bar 1 This is working for a constant tempo at 4/4 or 3/4 at the moment will look into getting it to work with tempo and time signature changes. To get it to work now create a new song tab, insert a chord as above and then Event menu > Biab Plugin Chords, Song menu > Import Song Data Open the tempo mapped project and check Tempo & Time Signatures now select all chords ctrl+A right click copy go to the Tempo mapped Song tab and paste the chords into the chord track You should now have the Biab chords fitted to the tempo map. When the plugin has an ACID option added you can drag the tracks into S1 and they will fit to that tempo map, until then just right click the track and set the tempo to that of the Biab Plugin. ** the current plugin 1.14.2.0 is not playing most 3/4 styles back in sync in the chord sheet, it's counting 4 beats. Should be fixed in the next release  Select the chords, right click and set the song section color:

How would one do this on a Mac? There is no install directory as there is on a Windows PC.

Update thanks to RayL for finding the issue: Fixed: Not detecting capitals in chord name CMaj7 > Cmaj7 S1 doesn't recognize uppercase in the chords unlike BB, you may want to suggest that to PreSonus. Try this and see how it goes. BiabPluginChords-StudioOne.zipHere's one for chords to markers, so any midi you export will have the chords in it as makers (something I asked PG to do since 1879  ) ChordsToMarkers-StudioOne.zip

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."
