Once you've installed the update, check the notation window. If the problem still exists, close Band-in-a-Box and add a text file called safemode.txt (contents do not matter) to the \bb\Preferences folder. Run the program and notice that it should say "safe mode" on the splash screen. If not, then you didn't add the text file properly. Does the notation still have the same problem?
In that case, you should now delete the safemode.txt file from bb\Preferences, as that was just a test that simulates factory settings. You should do the following steps.
1. Reboot the computer.
2. Open a command prompt as administrator. To do this, type CMD in the Windows search (bottom left corner of the task bar. When you see Command Prompt, right-click on it and select Run As Administrator.
3. Navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts. To do this, type "CD C:\Windows\Fonts" (without the quotes)
4. Delete the PG Music fonts. To do this, type "DEL pgmus.ttf" Then, repeat this for the remaining PG Music fonts. Here is a list of them:
C:\Windows\Fonts>del PG Music Font medium.ttf Could Not Find C:\Windows\Fonts\PG ifound thiς in cmd but i cant delete
That doesn't look like the name of one of the fonts. Andrew meant to type each line like this from the command prompt:
del Pgchords.ttf del Pgjazz__.ttf del pgmus.ttf del Pgtext.ttf del Pgtextj_.tt del Pgtextje.ttf del BeStPlainXZ.ttf del RealScoreChord.ttf del BigBandChord.ttf
i cant delete this ttf 20.068 PG Music Font medium.ttf and i did not find it anywhere.I mean fonts and registry.I show it only to cmd.But i cant not delete it C:\Windows\Fonts>del PG Music Font medium.ttf Could Not Find C:\Windows\Fonts\PG

There is no font called PG Music Font. Andrew said this: "Delete the PG Music fonts." That is not the name of the font. You only need to delete the fonts he listed:
You open the command prompt as mentioned as Administrator the do the delete command as I listed previously:
del Pgchords.ttf del Pgjazz__.ttf del pgmus.ttf del Pgtext.ttf del Pgtextj_.tt del Pgtextje.ttf del BeStPlainXZ.ttf del RealScoreChord.ttf del BigBandChord.ttf
If there was a font called "PG Music Font medium.ttf", you would have to put quote signs around it like this: C:\Windows\Fonts>del "PG Music Font medium.ttf"
That's because the command prompt cannot handle spaces unless you have quote signs around it.
but same thing .I m not find the solution!!!!!!!!!
Georgios, we understand your frustration, but you are only telling us that you didn't resolve your issue.
Step back a little and try to be more methodical.
Please list down every single step that you took, and what the result of every step was.
It will take longer to do this, yes, but simply providing a statement that you didn't find the solution - without the detail of the steps you took - makes everyone else's effort to assist based on guesswork only.
Please be thorough and methodical, and then we can get a clearer picture of how to make better, informed suggestions to assist you.

The commands through the Command Prompt will not work under Windows 10 unless your user account has ownership of the Windows\Fonts folder, so forget about deleting the fonts through the Command Prompt.
The "official" way of uninstalling the fonts is as follows: Go to Windows Settings (right click the Start Menu and click Settings), then go to Personalization then Fonts. Search for these fonts one by one, then click on each of them and click Uninstall. The list to search is as follows:
PG Text PGChords PGJazz PGMusic F PGTextj PGTextje BeStPlainXZ BigBand Chords RealScore Chords
Once those have been uninstalled, please try to run the Fonts installer at x:\bb\Data\Installers\bbfonts.exe, where X is your drive letter.
As the others have said, please be as methodical as you can. For each of the listed fonts, please let us know if the file comes up in the search or not, whether it gives you any problems Uninstalling it, or whether you encounter any other problems during the process, and write down detailed messages as to what happens and any error messages you encounter.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the help. I found the solution which was a problem with windows. I checked the UTF-8. I unchecked it restarted and everything went normally.
For the benefit of people who might stumble onto this thread, we found the specific setting that causes this to happen on some Windows 10 PC's (rectangles displaying in the Notation Window).
Access the "All Control Panel Items" screen. To get there, you can enter this path in Windows Explorer: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items
Go to Region > Administrative, and click [Change system locale...] There is currently a setting "[ ] Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support"
To fix the problem in Band-in-a-Box, uncheck the box, and reboot the PC.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
