Hi there

Im new to this forum, and also to Biab. I don't know how to see tabs?

I have made a 12 bar blues, and set the style to texas blues rock shuffle.

Cant i see the tabs for the guitar playing the rhythm? or the bass?

when i press the notation or the lead sheet there are only normal notation.

Please help!

Hi Nicky,

Welcome to the forums.

If you follow the 1,2,3,4 on the image below, you'll set tab notation. It will then be displayed.

Regards,
Noel

I don't read treble clef all that well. (I play bass hand bells in a church choir so I am better at the bass clef.)

I do say that the timing on that piece is challenging. There are triplets and rests throughout. Timing-wise the notes are easier to read.

2nd measure: 1+2+ 3 triplet 4 triplet is how I would count it.

1 beat is a rest. Beat 2 is a dotted note so it would be counted 2 + with a tie which would allow the notes in 2 to ring into beat 3. The triplets are 3 and 4. (Noted by the 3 above the lines.)

Probably I am not that much help. Someone else - how close am I??? How accurate is the tab?

Hi DSM

Thank you.

Its not so much about the timing, its more about the tabs. try look at it. It is way to high op the neck. fret 24??? i only have 22 on my strat:-) and we are talking chords with some fills, and i can hear that it is much lower un the neck.

I'm not sure if I'm on the right track for what you are trying to find, but does this help:

I did not see that. My first instrument is banjo so it didn't register to me that those notes were way way up the neck.

Hi NickyD, I see you are on a Mac and there are differences between Mac and PC versions. You may want to post this in the Mac forums if you already haven't.

From what I see you have the guitar listed but your tabs are for 4 strings, so you have your tabs set to a 4 string instrument like a uke or mandolin. You must search and find where you can change your tab notation. Unfortunately I do not have a Mac so I can't be of any assistance.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
