Actually I see the script there now...

How do I run it? And do I need to set up a BiaB song first via the VST or otherwise?

Also, when I go to the action list, the script is not appearing under any of the submenus despite the fact that it is showing up under the actions list.

...actually I just realized I did not re-synchronize Reapack or the SWS extensions. Doing that now.

Will update

Update. I'm all set up with a blank Reaper project. All toolbars are installed and ready to go.

What's my next step vis a vis BaiB?

Just replace the script with the new one.
You should see "Chord Region Player" button bottom right in Toolbar.
Or Action menu > Show action list > type chord region player > run.

You can try it with the plugin just add 4 bars for each chord you will be using for now.
Save the chord as SGU, Open > SGU to reopen it.
"Biab Plugin Chords" button or run script.
Don't create fills, I'm working on that now so it will play a fill when you hit the same chord again or automatically after so many beat counts.

Is that shown in the screenshot the right version? I'm pretty sure I replaced it already.

BTW, the script is not showing up in the action list even though it's on the toolbar.
Also, when I press it, nothing launches.

Do I need to create the BiaB track first?

It plays smooth within the plugin but you can drag the master track out into a Reaper track and mute the plugin.
Just make sure you have the xxbpm in the track name box.
You can have a plugin on each track at a different temp and style, just load the common SGU into them.

Are there any other "ReaTrak" showing in the Action list.
If not you need to Load them them in step 3-4-5

OK. I saved it as Pipeline120bpm.SGU, reopned the file, dragged it into Reaper but there is no meta-data/chord regions as shown in your vids. The buttons on the toolbar are unresponsive.

You reopen the file in the Biab Plugin,
now hit the Biab Plugin Chords button in the ReaTrack toolbar,
it will ask on first time run for the Song.txt in bb\
select No to create Fill regions

OK, I figured it out (I was trying to run the script via "import," rather than "load").

However, I just got this error message when trying to launch via the toolbar.

When you Imported the Scripts into the Action window you need to have it on Main for step 3&4
and on MIDI Editor for step 5
I will edit that.

3. Reaper > Actions > Show Action List > Import >
REAPER\KeyMaps\ReaTrak Scripts.ReaperKeyMap

4. Reaper > Actions > Show Action List > Import >
REAPER\KeyMaps\ReaReaTrak Custom Actions Required (Main).ReaperKeyMap

5. Reaper > Actions > Show Action List
Section> MIDI Editor > Import >
REAPER\ReaTrak MIDI Editor.ReaperKeyMap

Unless you had the 2 components of the file name reversed? As in it should have been the bottom one?

What where you running ? the Chord Region Player or the GUI ?

Try this one it will show the location of the script:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ulm7mu6xszds4qe/ReaTrak%20midi%20chord%20input%20to%20region%20chord%20player.lua?dl=1
in that folder you should have a folder ReaTrak_Classes

Tried again, and I fear I may have screwed something up :-(

On that note, any idea why I can't locate the Appdata roaming folder via file explorer via the same path I can open via Reaper's "show resource path" ?

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."
