never had this problem before. NO matter where
I set the song end, the chord sheet fills with
all bars up to 255!

I'm not sure what you are saying, but BIAB does have a song limit of 255 measures (RealBand does not have this limit).

For your visual mish-mash, try Options, Return to Factory Settings (Most). You might also try a right-click in the chordsheet and look at the display options. Perhaps you have set some high number of rows?

No, the value of 255 is the maximum number of bars that can be used by BiaB. It can use any value less than that.

Definitely try the return to factory settings, as suggested.

Hi

The number of lines and therefore bars you can see on the chord sheet,(page/screen)
Can be set under:

Display options.
Right click in any bar select display options, set number of columns and number of rows.

thanks @ Mike Head, I changed it to 4 and 10 as you show.

But no, all 255 bars are still displayed!

And what happened after you did Return to Factory Settings?

hi,

I dont want to return to factory settings, if possible

Because it takes me so long to get other display options set up.

for example. some defaults make no sense to me -- why does the cell playing DEFAULT TO BLACK? covering all fonts.

thats horrible for me.

I understand, but when you do the Return to Factory Settings, you are first prompted to Save them to a file. That way, you can restore the defaults and see if the problem goes away, knowing you can safely load back your settings.

If the problem does go away, then you could manually add back your settings one by one to see what triggers the problem, although it may go away just by doing the return to factory settings alone.

You could add a file called "safemode.txt" to the Preferences folder, and that will get the program to boot up with factory settings, and when you're doing testing, you can just delete that file to restore your original settings.

I think we're just wondering if you still have these strange display issues at factory settings. A screenshot would be helpful. You can attach to a forum post using the "File Manager" in the post reply screen.

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.
