I just upgraded from 2014 to the 2019 MegaPak. When I play a song from my 2014 version the beat of the music is not at the same time as the black bar that moves as the chords play. The music plays and then the bar moves to the chord about 1/3 second later. I have not tried making a new song yet to see what it does. Thanks Bill

Hi. There are several possibilities here. First, I don’t think it’s related to the song file being from 2014. I routinely open files from as far back as the early 90s.
The audio driver is the first place I would look. BIAB 2018 and after default to the WAS driver, and I would try changing that to MME or ASIO, whichever worked before in your 2014 version.
If that isn’t it, consider checking for updates to your video drivers, though this is less likely to be the cause, as BIAB does not stress the video system.

Well Matt, Thanks for the guidance. I didn't think it was the 2014 songs really. After I posted I put in a new 4 bars and ran it and it was still doing it in the new 2019 version. What you said to look at was really way above my level of knowledge but the words audio driver caught my eye. I looked in help for audio driver and started to read about it, couldn't find MME or ASIO but I did find the word latency which I thought might be relevent and then found a link for MIDI driver Wizard. Opened that but didn't understand a thing about the options I was given but I clicked OK and darned if that wasn't it. My sample song works ok and my 2014 song is right on the money with the sheet chords and music being right in sync.
So thanks for the help. I hate to upgrade programs because this always happens.
Bill

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows was released in December 2018, and included many new features and enhancements - like the enhancements we made to our Notation window!
These include:
-Pressing the space bar plays the song from the current location.
-Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location.
-The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
-Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on it.
-In the Notation Windows Options dialog, the clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
-The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
-You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
-A new track type (Drums) is available for the Melody and Soloist tracks.
-Holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
-There's a keystroke entry mode -the "N" mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
-A new button in the Print Options dialog lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the Chord Sheet.
-You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When the dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current notation track.
There's detailed information on our 2019 notation enhancements here: Band-in-a-Box® 2019 New Feature - Notation Enhancements

My Favorite Things - Nudge Chords in Band-in-a-Box®
Love this time saving feature.
Ever fill in the chordsheet fully or for part of song, and then discover you want to add or take away an extra beat or more somewhere in the chordsheet.
Nudge chords (melody) from the Edit Menu is your friend here, the dialog will give you all the options either to remove or add beats where its needed.
Love it.
