When I start generate and play, I do not have enough time to then pick up the trombone, start the recording and be ready for the intro. Is there a delay start possible at all?

You could possibly introduce a few extra bars at the start of the song with the instruments muted <F5>, perhaps allowing a drum fill as a 'pickup bar' to provide the tempo/timing?
You can also set the start of the song to be triggered by a MIDI event, but this might be less practical.
(I had also thought of suggesting to put the laptop on the floor and pressing the space bar with your big toe, but decided that this might be a little too avant-garde )

I have an USB foot pedal connected to my laptop. So you could have your trombone ready and just press the pedal (with your foot), when you are ready to go.
It can also halt (a tune) any time, which is ok when playing gigs and something would require you to stop in the middle of playing a tune.

Interesting! Could you please elaborate as to what pedal that is? I have not heard of such.

The problem is then shifting in that the new PC only has 2 USB ports (old one had 4). One is already used for the audio interface and I was hoping to use the second for a harddrive.
That means I will now also have to get a USB hub. It is becoming somewhat messy...

This will give you 10sec then will send F4 to Biab to generate and play. alt+Q is the hot key, you can change it to whatever you like, you can change {F4} to {space} to send spacebar to play only.
Code:
; Only one instance running at a time
#SingleInstance force
~!Q::
winactivate,ahk_class TBandWindow
Sleep, 10000
Send {F4}
return

I bought my USB pedal years ago, so there might be newer and better ones available. Mine is a a 3 pedal Foot Switch (although I only use two) of the type FS3-P. It is very light, made of black plastic. Sorry, there is no brand name.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
