Pipeline, Awesome! Lots of great features in there. Thanks Peter
Peter, I agree. Incidentally, are you looking for any new recruits for your development team? There does appear to be some very excellent potential close by.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I got the 2009 or earlier worked out, just working out an ini file to store the BB version choice from the drop list and it will store the custom user actions buttons. So there will be just one version to download hopefully.
Update 2.1f beta Transpose Selection Edit/Transpose Beat All Biab versions in 1 32/64bit installer settings.ini to easily add/modify your Custom User Actions
The 2009-earlier should work on all versions as it uses the Chord Options dialog to edit the chords. In the 2017 & 2018 version the set to Bass Drums Piano Guitar Strings shortcuts were left out, this prevents the Chord Picker Tool from working correctly using 2009 mode in 2017 & 2018, however PG should have a fix out soon for both 2017 & 2018 to add the shortcuts back.
When you start the new version for the first time you will be asked to set the version in the bottom left, you can then change versions at anytime to try what suites you best.
After the version is set you can then also edit the settings.ini located in the install folder. This will let you easily add/modify the Custom User Actions keys in the User tab. Here's an example of adding an Unfold action to CA11 (Custom Actions 1 button 1) it's a simple matter of filling in name=*** and funct=*** of the buttons you need. Alt+E (Edit menu) Down 10 Right Down 5 and Enter !E,{Down 10},{Right},{Down 5},{Enter} ** Save a copy of your settings.ini !!! See Biab Chord Picker ReadMe.txt in the install folder for more details.

Hello Pipeline, I've just had a squiz at your wonderful offering. I have 2011 and have downloaded from the link you so generously supplied. Before I take it downstairs and have a go at installing the thing I thought I'd best ask...does it run well enough with XP? My DAW (Reaper) and BIAB computer is isolated from the net and all things too modern and runs happily on XP with all the old VSTs and so forth as well as an ancient version of Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.3 (I still have some old CW9 projects to export and rebuild in Reaper so have hung onto the prog). Thanks in anticipation of an answer.
Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe
Biab Plugin Chord Picker Tool Generic v1.1 for Most DAWs This should work with most DAWs.
The 2 DAWs I found so far that don't send the keystrokes to the Biab Plugin window are BandLab and Cubase, so to fix this issue use PluginFlipFlop if you already have JBridge. Just load PluginFlipFlop (instrument of FX) then load the Biab Plugin (instrument of FX) into it. Using PluginFlipFlop in Cubase will keep the VST window on top always. If the Biab the BiabVST window don't stay on top use Always On Top 1.3 Let me know what works and what don't. (the transport buttons up the top are not working) (the ^ ^^ Pushes still need implementing in the Plugin)
Yea same deal as BandLab and Cubase. Load PluginFlipFlop (FX or instrument) then load BBvst (FX or instrument) into it. If the BiabVst don't stay on top use an Always On Top app like the one in the link Always On Top 1.3 Joao from JBridge is going to make it stay on top.
why does the chord picker tool not allow the version to be set?

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
