Note that I made very sure to load tff and not txt, so I have no idea why it's referring to txt in the second error message.

You need to go to the bb\ folder that is where Song.txt is

OK, installed new script, but when I try to run the action I'm still getting this:

ReaTrak import chords from biab plugin.lua:145: cannot open file 'C:\Users\Intel\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Scripts\ReaTrak\Song.txt' (No such file or directory)

How do I redirect it to the proper path?

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" ?


In Explorer > Show Hidden Files/Folders

the chord.ttf right click on it Install
same for LeagueGothic-CondensedItalic.ttf

these will give Fonts in the GUI's

I don't understand what the purpose of the txt file you show is?

My latest roadblock started when it wanted to import a tff file the first time I tried running the BiaB plugins chord script from the docker (and, as you demonstrated earlier in the thread, was supposed to be under the Appdata/roaming etc path).

The Song.txt that you open with "Biab Plugin Chords" will have the chord info in it for Reaper to insert chord regions.
If you open that text you will see bar number and chord names.

Yay!!! Checking to display the hidden files and folders did the trick!!!

However, I'm not given a prompt re: how I might cure this error by redirecting the path.

In other words, the script (and it's shortcut) refuse to allow me to browse to set a new location (e.g. C\bb\Song.txt.)

I see what's happened you opened a file in the appdata folder so it's set that as the bb Song.txt folder
So show the reaper resource path and in the root you will see REAPER.INI open it and search for the line
reatrak_bb_folder
delete the line or change it to
reatrak_bb_folder=C:\bb\ (or where bb is)

You mean this?

reatrak_bb_folder=C:\Users\Intel\AppData\Roaming\REAPER\Scripts\ReaTrak\

Should look like exactly like this?

reatrak_bb_folder=C:\bb\Song.txt

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!

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."
