Does anyone use the conductor window features like "next bar"?
For example if I’m playing a 32-bar tune with 4 choruses, at bar 16, I press “5” to go to the last chorus, at bar 17 the notation does go to bar one of the last chorus as it should, but BIAB keeps on playing at bar 17 as if I had not pressed “5”. Since BIAB isn’t playing what’s being shown on the notation window, it eventually crashes.
This is very frustrating. I have no control at a gig to start the tune at the first chorus (pressing “3”) or a middle chorus (pressing “4”).
Does anyone else have this problem?

This seems to be a bug - I've reported it to the development team.

I was also unhappy with the usability of the conductor window lately.
Little seemed to work for me there. so I stop fiddling around with it.
Is someone using this feature nowadays?
I used to practice with it years ago, but my last trys where underwelming.
Anyone using this now and everything works?
Cheers

I've tried it on every version for years and it's my experience that it has never worked for Real Tracks. I'd love to use it for live gigs.

Hello simon
On part of the problem is to my awarness, that the edit boxes always have the focus (or often as least) an capture the control letter as an entry to the edit box.
This seems to me a contraproductive behaviour if the key strokes should be interpreted as some command in the conductor window.
Maybe the developers look into this as well.....

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."
