2. Make sure that #2 (View/Edit) is set to "Program and #1 (Channels) is set to "ALL." These are shown on the upper image below. If a patch is present in the file, it will appear in the region labelled #3.
3. As shown on the lower image (#1), hover the mouse over the patch name.
4. Right-click.
5. Select "Select all graphic events" from the pop-up menu.
6. Select "Delete selected events."
Now save the BIAB with a slightly varied name. Doing this will allow you to reload the original file should you need to.
Until you mentioned it, I've never accessed this editor via the #-button in Notation Mode. I've always gone through the "Melody | Edit Melody Track | Step Edit Melody". (It's definitely much easier to use the #-button in Notation mode.)
I also use it to edit note lyrics. As they are a midi event loosely attached to a note event, it's easy to delete then, or adjust their placement. You can move them away from their notes to reduce space between words or delete them if they are no longer associated with the note. Very versatile.

This Tip used to work for me, but now, in BIAB 2022, Build 914...
(I wanted to insert a .png screenshot here, but couldn't get it to work in BIAB file manager)
The right click selection doesn't allow selection anymore of just the graphic events. It has all notes and graphics events as the second choice selection.
(I wanted to insert a .png screenshot here, but couldn't get it to work in BIAB file manager)
Yeah, it doesn't handle PNG files. You can open the file in Microsoft Paint or other app and re-save as a .jpg and then upload. In some cases you can just rename the file extension.
Should the image show in the text box or the preview?
Nope, another odd item. You cannot see the image until you post it. If it's not the size you like, you have to edit the post and upload a re-sized image.
okay, it now shows only an option to select all notes (not all graphic events only, as it used to), or all notes and events. I don't want to delete the notes.

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."
