For example, I enter C F G C
Click generate or start
Then listen to the generated music without the last C
Let me take a closer look at the word below
The last C becomes blank
This has happened many times, whether VST or BIAB main program
Am I wrong in the steps
How to lock the chord after writing it
Or did I press any key and have any bad habits
Do you have a solution?
thank you

Hello swingbabymix!

What version year of the program are you using? When you go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box what is the 3 digit number in brackets next to the version year? The chords should just be sticking when you typed them in, unless you've typed an unrecognized chord, which C definitely is recognized by the program. So that likely isn't the issue. Also, have you tried going to Options | Return to Factory Settings | Return MOST?

I'm the latest version.
But I do lose it easily. I guess it's because you're typing chords.
Many playback software is blank space
When I finish typing chords, the space plays
Will be automatically deleted? I haven't found the reason yet
I remember sometimes it disappears without pressing the space.
Can we make input a better way
Or design a lock, which will be locked after input, so that the keyboard cannot control writing
If you want to write, open the lock
Do you think so?

I cannot duplicate this. Works fine for me!

That's in BIAB!

I tried multiple times and multiple different ways, and could not duplicate.

Begs the question: is it a particular style or all?

I tried a multitude. No issues.

It's either user error or a re-install is needed. We have never encountered this particular issue.

Tried more styles, all work fine with the 4th ending in C, or any other chord for that matter.

MikeK:

But I often appear. Maybe I'm used to hit keyboard space?
Anyway, I think it's better to put a lock on the chord.
It means to lock the keyboard input. Because VST is different from the main program, VST needs to work with other software. It is prone to problems. For example, pressing the keyboard will affect the chord input of BIAB
It would be good to lock it at this time.

I tried it with BiaB, not the VST. I could not even trick it to lose that last chord by typing: C<space>
I tried many different ways.

Perhaps it is an issue with the VST, (although the O/P mentioned both VST and BiaB)?

Thinking further... I wonder if the O/P is using a different keyboard layout, i.e. not QWERTY?
It may be sending different key-codes at times.

Also, what is the native language of the computer set to? Some keyboard translations might be taking place.

I think if this was occurring more widespread, that many users would have picked it up and reported it by now.

VideoTrack:

My keyboard is normal.
Because BIAB is keyboard input, but in DAW, we need to operate a lot of software. Unintentionally will definitely hit the keyboard, which may cause errors.
The solution is simple, add a lock.

Finally, share a modern music production video.

Tell us more about how the lock works. How is it activated / deactivated, exactly when should it be used, etc?
Several of us could not reproduce the issue you have identified, that's why I'm trying to determine some other external cause.

do you click out of the bar where you typed the last chord?

Just stop the keyboard from affecting BIAB. Lock the chord input position.

After I input it, I won’t move, so the checkbox will definitely stay at the last chord. This should be the cause of the disappearance.

But if you don’t put the selection box at the last
So where should I click? There is no completion button either. grin

Chords will disappear if they are entered in a way that is not recognized by Band-in-a-Box. Do you think you could be making a typo when entering the C? The X key and the V key are right beside the C key on the keyboard and if they are accidentally entered before or after the C then the chord will disappear.

Also, in the plugin please go to File | About. What is the version number listed there?

Politely, I've mentioned before that I don't think this is a program error. I'm not in any way defending the program itself, but I still think that is the case.

Being advised by the O/P (previously) that the O/P has 'the latest version' is not the correct answer to the information that has been requested. Which latest version? The one the O/P is using or the one I am using?

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."
