Hi all - apologies for being redundant; I seem to have forgotten... frown

Can anyone please reiterate - how do you name the Bars / Sections of your song? For example, I want Bar 87 to say "Bridge". I recall it was simple... must be that this Solitary Confinement is rotting my brain!! laugh

Someone may know how to do that. What I do is use single letters. They are called (I think) bar-based section letters. I think you right click where you would enter a part marker.

My jazz songs have entries lIke a fakesheet such as A, B, C. Then S for solo, T for Tag etc.

On the Chord Chart, bars can have a Bar-based Section Letter attached, but not a word to my knowledge.
You could use lyrics to do this but they wouldn't appear on the chord chart.
Edit: Matt answered the same while I was preparing the image.

I think the OP may be thinking of using Section Text Layer. You can have Section Text and Lyrics Text showing on the Chord Chart.

Yes... I use section text to label my verses/chorus/solo/etc... click on Chord Display/Layers/Section text - - then double click on the faint green line at the top of each bar to insert your label.

Thank you, all! It took some digging, and all were correct... Silverback got me back to what I remembered.

I appreciate the backstop! laugh

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."
