Have biab 2019 windows. In melody input under edit mode can't get an F natural in the key of D. I've tried shift and control key. Any ideas. I couldn't find anything in documentation on accidentals.

Have you tried right clicking on the note to set the accidental?

In Editable Notation Mode, right click on the note and you’ll see an option.

Just curious, are you saying you only get an F#?

It's definitely working here with both the <Alt> key or right-clicking and editing.

Make sure you are in Editable Notation Mode.

You can also left click on the note with your mouse and move it down to an F natural.

I tried left clicking and dragging. It goes directly from E to F#.

You have to move the mouse in small increments. In notation mode there is a box in the tool bar that tells you what the note you are on clicked on is ("A 7" for example). That changes as you move the mouse.

Hope this helps.

I tend to move in larger increments, i.e. drop or raise the note several pitches, then drag it to what I want. I find it easier, but whatever works.

Did you try right-clicking and editing the note value? You can then specify the exact note you want.

Do you have your key signature set to D?

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."
